Kings of Taiwan
Award-winning Documentary

Synopsis
No one should have to ask what a drag king is.
In Taipei, a unique community of drag kings has emerged and has been growing since 2019.
Liting ‘LT’ Tan is a drag king from Singapore who came to Taiwan to be in an environment that has allowed them to live authentically. Over the past few years, they have become a grounding force in the community, pushing for a space where kings can thrive. After a challenging marriage, Tâilé sought out a queer community to be a part of, and that is how they came to meet LT. Rose is a captivating performer whose persona successfully explores caricatures of masculine tropes.
Drag has allowed these individuals to push boundaries in ways they never thought possible. Follow a journey of freedom, empowerment, and self-discovery through these three.
The project is part of the Taiwan Pitch Non-Fiction Short Film Fund 2022, organized by CNEX, TaiwanPlus and the Ministry of Culture (ROC).
