Gay Star News talk to Chinese director Fan Popo who is presenting the European premiere of his film, Be a Woman, about drag queens in Nanning in southwest China.

What's life like for drag queens in China?

There are different styles in different cities. In the city of Nanning, where my documentary was filmed, they learnt a lot from Thailand (since it's only a one hour flight from Bangkok). You feel the Southeast Asia influence in their performance. The performers do enjoy their work and life, though they don't have very high income.
