A fearless young singer challenges her oppressive culture through bold music videos, risking everything to amplify women's voices despite dangerous opposition.

This film tells the personal stories of the teenagers who participate in a support group offered by a Bay Area youth organization called “Outlet.” It includes observational footage of their weekly support group and mentoring meetings, providing a glimpse of the challenges they face at school on a daily basis. Interviews with the support group facilitator, a young activist, and a trans teen address the evolution of queer issues as they are taken on by local middle school and high school students within a context now over 10 years old, but still relevant today in many schools.

A short exposé that ventures into the world of up-and-coming drag king star, Jay Walker. Guided by Jay, the video takes a look at the humor, freedom, and politics behind women dressing and performing as men. With appearances by other veteran and novice performers, the video paints a rich picture of an artistic and revolutionary movement.
