In August 2006, I wrote about the Paperdolls – see my entry Paperdolls, and that movie actually inspired me to pursue my desire to become a Drag Queen.
I just remember this today, and checked whether anything about that film is posted in youtube and I am soo lucky I found it. I want to share this with you….
Just remembering this film and what it is all about, makes me truly proud of being Filipino and Gay! We could be the poorest of the poor, third world nationals, but most of us, or if not all of us, have hearts of GOLD. And that is the most important thing in the world. Do you agree?
Paper Dolls is a documentary film which follows a group of transvestite Filipinos who emigrate to Israel to take care of elderly religious Jewish men. On their one day off per week, they perform as drag performers in a group called the Paper Dolls.The film opens on September 6th at the Film Forum in New York and on September 8th at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Boston
hindi gumagana ang youtube video pero tinignan ko sya. maganda nga. challenging ang roles ng mga itez.
dapat maraming ganitez. para di lang ang mga rumarampa sa mga manila streets ang tinitignan.
maraming matututo. maraming mamumulat.
kaya mahalin dapat ang mga jelay nating sisterettes.
Kokorekek ka jan Ache Kiks !!!
I like the video. I hope I can find this documentary, it sounds really interesting!
I saw it on Bergen Film Festival last 2006 and it was a really nice film.
