Divine Divas

Eight iconic characters from the first generation of transvestite artists in Brazil challenged the morals of a country at the height of a rigid military dictatorship in the 1960s. One of the first stages to embrace these artists was the Rival theatre, run by Américo Leal, the director's grandfather. Through archival footage and interviews, this intimate documentary delves into the talent and stories of a generation that revolutionized the attitudes and morals of their era.
