A Drag Queen Fighting for Civil Rights | Ambrosia (Documentary)

In rural Alabama, one activist refuses to stay silent. Ambrosia tells the story of a drag queen and civil rights advocate who must keep her identity hidden while fighting for human rights in a place where LGBTQ voices have often been erased. Through powerful personal storytelling, the film reveals decades of overlooked queer history in the American South — and the courage it takes to protect it.

What we discovered was a powerful narrative of resilience, activism, and a rich LGBTQ history that is often missing from textbooks — especially in the American South. This film is an invitation to step into Ambrosia’s world and witness the courage it takes to preserve identity and history in the face of erasure. #FilmShortage #LGBTQDocumentary #QueerCinema #ShortDocumentary FILM SHORTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://instagram.com/filmshortage Twitter: https://twitter.com/filmshortage Facebook: https://facebook.com/filmshortage Website: https://filmshortage.com Film Shortage is home to the next generation of filmmakers, premiering some of the best and diverse short films online
