Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Writer-director Yony Leyser’s documentary explores the rise of the queercore cultural and social movement in the mid-1980s, which channelled punk angst into a biting critique of societal homophobia. It features interviews with key figures like film director John Waters, multi-hyphenate artist Bruce LaBruce, Sonic Youth frontwoman Kim Gordon, and electronic musician and performance artist Peaches.
