Description

The origin story of Lady Camden, the drag persona of Rex Wheeler, as they navigate the fame of being on RuPaul’s Drag Race and confront the ghosts of childhood trauma.


Lady Camden burst onto the world stage in Season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, a favorite of fans and the queen herself. However, like many drag queens, the London-born and San Francisco-based Rex Wheeler created Camden to not only shine a light, but to confront a life of bullying and trauma. Director Luke Willis has created a wonderful docu-fantasy, featuring Lady Camden’s very outrageous origin story (involving tons of glitter) and a moving documentary about using the art of drag to heal and offer hope. Inspiring. Hilarious. Heartbreaking. Hopeful. That’s Lady Like.
