Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival 2008

Pageant takes you behind the scenes as 52 ordinary gentlemen go to extraordinary lengths in order to be crowned the 34th Miss Gay America®. This contest is about the art of illusion, so hormones and body enhancements are forbidden.

The movie follows 5 of the most talented and beautiful female impersonators as they pack up their lipstick and duct tape and prepare to dominate in this underground competition. Hear from the men as well as from those in their entourage: husbands, mothers, sons, and little brothers.

Pageant features stunning musical numbers, while diving into the heart and soul of this make-believe world: the men behind the make up. Everybody has a dream; these men are making theirs a reality.
