Workhorse Queen

This documentary film follows Ed Popil, a 47-year-old suburban telemarketer who leaves his job to pursue a full-time entertainment industry career as his drag queen alter ego, Mrs. Kasha Davis. After being unexpectedly cast onto reality television show RuPaul's Drag Race in 2015, the film explores how mainstream television has affected queer performance culture and Ed's journey through the highs and lows of pursuing fame, including struggles with alcoholism and ageism within the industry. Ultimately, the documentary culminates in Ed creating a new variety show for children, allowing him to become the queer role model he never had growing up.
