Join us on August 14 at 2pm, as the Hyde Park Art Center debuts the documentary, “I am the Queen,” directed and produced by Josue Pellot and Henrique Cirne-Lima. “I am the Queen” takes a look at the often unobserved life of Chicago’s Puerto Rican transgendered community documenting the Cacique Pageant, the first annual transgendered pageant held in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. The film exposes the restructuring of the family unit experienced by pageant participants who are often distanced from their biological family only to find kinship among others in the Puerto Rican transgendered community.
