Close-up on the Parisian drag scene

The world of drag queens is at best unknown, at worst caricatured and stigmatized by the uninformed.

The documentary

Queendom

, available on France.tv Slash, is a perfect opportunity to familiarize yourself with these figures who combine artistic expression with a political dimension.

Marco Novoa and Simon Vivier's film follows three figures of the Parisian scene: Cookie Kunty, Shigo LaDurée and Le Filip.

Through this trio Queendom shows different facets of drag, its importance within the LGBT community, whether or not to address the general public.

He emphasizes that this mode of expression and creation owes a lot to the ballroom scene and that it cannot be reduced to the enthusiasm generated by the very popular television competition 

RuPaul's Drag Race

An uplifting documentary series on rape

In December, France Culture broadcast

Violé • es: une histoire de dominations

, a documentary series by Clémence Allezard which resonates particularly in the light of the recent Duhamel affair and the wave of testimonies posted under the hashtag #MeTooGay this week.

The four episodes ("To pose your words", "To break the silences", "To fabricate other stories", "To defend oneself") revolve around testimonies of people who have been raped and excerpts from

King-Kong Theory

by Virginie Despentes.

"How to tell again.

Doubts guided me but the obvious: to say again, yes, to recall the figures, between 52,000 and 75,000 women raped per year, about 2,500 men.

A rape every 7 minutes according to associations.

To say the undervalued realities, to say the magnitude and the inertia, to still listen to the appropriate bodies, the “out of category”, which do not have right of the city ”, writes the journalist in her note of intent.
