This documentary series follows Jamie
Campbell as he makes a bold step on his difficult journey to adulthood,
battling prejudice from his community and even his own family as he pursues his
dream of becoming a drag queen.
Growing up in an ex-mining village in
County Durham, Jamie has already faced his fair share of difficulties when he
came out as gay at the age of just 14. Now, with the support of most of his
family and friends, Jamie has decided to share his passion with the world and
attend his school prom dressed in drag.
With some frank and intimate family
moments, Jamie: Drag Queen at 16
explores Jamie’s hopes and fears for the future. Will he receive the acceptance
he craves from his peers and the confidence to be who he really is?
