TORONTO — Drag superstar Scarlett Bobo’s documentary Underneath the Empire will have its Canadian television premiere on April 15 on OUTtv, the film’s producer Absolut Vodka announced today.
The film provides a behind-the-curtain tour of Toronto’s drag scene, and was shot during the 2019 Absolut Empire’s Ball, an inclusive drag competition created by Scarlett Bobo. The documentary was filmed by GroupSJR and saw its theatrical debut at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto in December 2019.
“This is a story of the resilience that went into creating a more inclusive and accepting environment, where all types of drag artists are welcomed, in a community that is often stigmatized and marginalized,” reads the press release.
The documentary will premiere in Canada on April 15 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on OUTtv, and will be available to stream on OUTtvGo.com, the OUTtv Amazon Prime Channel and OUTtv Apple TV Channel from April 14.
