Tears, Tiaras and Transsexuals

Jeremy Stanford takes a behind-the-scenes look at the first ever 'World's Most Beautiful Transsexual Pageant' in Las Vegas, meeting the six hopefuls who are attempting to realise their diva dreams.

With the dramatic competition to win the crown (and a starring role in a sensational new Vegas revue) as a high-stakes backdrop, the film explores the personal stories behind the pageant.

Provocative profiles and interviews document the always intriguing, sometimes moving and often humorous journeys of the contestants.

United by common histories of hardship and persecution, their ultimate triumph is a moving celebration of the human spirit.
