Queen's Land
Directed by Elowyn Gampe
Queen’s Land tells the oft forgotten history of drag, repression and resistance in Queensland’s queer scene during the Joh Bjelke-Petersen dictatorship. With glitter and glamour Destiny Rogers describes the ups and downs of life under Australia’s most conservative police state through the 60s to 80s. Petrified jelly, bribery, and gay bikies. Despite living in “pig city” a community was able to persist. To complement, Sel Dowd provides a history of the activist struggles of the era which inform our ongoing struggles today.
