Through interviews with three generations of Drag performers this all access documentary examines how a queen is conceived and what it means to be a performer.

Moving interviews and performances punctuate the documentary revealing the skill, technique and humor necessary to transcend gender. As one of the Queens says, "any clown can put on a dress, but they're not going to be around for a long time."

Charmed Life opens the door to a world rarely seen by mainstream society. Working drag performers divulge everything from trade secrets to the perils of dating. They lament the misconceptions of their craft by society and strive to set the record straight. Drag is after all a celebration of life.

The documentary explores the lives of artists who buck convention and embrace life on the fringe. Civil liberties diminish daily across the globe yet these performers fight for the right to be visible. As minds grow smaller and societies become less tolerant of any genre of performance that provokes thought or pushes buttons, the question remains what is so controversial about a man in a dress?

This provocative documentary champions the universal need for tolerance, love and acceptance. Charmed Life challenges its audience to see past the surface, to ask questions and to open their hearts and minds. It is a ticket into the world of Drag performance; a portrait of its glorious inhabitants.
