If you like gay film, or any quality documentary style look inside of a story based on the evolution of a drag queen who went from a confused child to a confident world-traveling superstar, then this one is for you. I loved it, and it was very well done. You can't be afraid of imagery that may challenge your, perhaps, limited view of life and society and culture. It's honest, loving, and I recommend that you check it out.

The next time I saw Jake's monsoon was on a cruise ship set up by Al &I Chuck Travel, there were 39 other queens from RuPaul's drag race on-board. Jinx brought along his Broadway show and performed in front of 3000 of RuPaul drag queen fans to standing ovation and a couple of encores. If he is performing near you be sure to catch his act.

The family interviews were very sincere and helped me understand more about how difficult the life of a person born to stand out can be sometimes. I rented this film for 24 hours and watched it six times, I couldn't stop myself. I love Jinkx, so I'm very grateful that Alex Berry wanted to film this documentary and let us fans and anyone who is interested get a glimpse of the life of this very talented, lovely and humble human being. It's always going to be MONSOON SEASON.
... View MoreI was blessed to be in the audience at the premiere in Seattle with Jerick Hoffer, his family and his extended drag family. I watched it again yesterday for the second time. It's an amazing, honest, revealing documentary on how Jinkx Monsoon was born. Jerick was already a star before Rupaul's Drag Race but winning America's Next Drag Superstar brought him to a bigger audience. I loved the early film footage of his early drag performances. It's great to see the wonderful relationship and the loving support that he has with his family. Alex Berry and Basil Shadid have done a brilliant job and thank you for allowing us to see behind the curtain of this multi-talented drag performer's life. It's a must see documentary!! I feel like I know Jinkx Monsoon a lot more intimately than I did before!
