The Queen of Amazonas
La Reina del Amazonas
At the Amazonian tri-border of Colombia, Peru, and Brazil, an Indigenous trans beauty pageant emerges, defying deep-rooted prejudice. Saray, Ariadna, and Ashley—trans women from different ethnicities—travel to Leticia to compete for the crown. Between rehearsals and memories, their pursuit of becoming “The Queen of Amazonas” transforms into a powerful act of resistance and an intimate portrait of the Amazon’s boundless diversity.
