Make Me A King

Short Film
2021
England
Ari, a non-binary person played by non-binary actor Libby Mai, faces confusion and judgement from their family due to their drag king performances and presentation.

Trailer.


Available Summary:

"Ari performs as a Jewish Drag King, much to the confusion of their family. Idolising real-life hero, Pepi Littman, who carved out a space for Drag Kings over 100 years ago, they use this history to open up a space for acceptance in the present." -Official website.

Ari putting on a binder.
WARNING: Unsafe binding.

The trailer of Make Me A King shows a chest binder which does not have shoulder straps. This style of binding can be quite unsafe, due to consistent pressure all around the ribcage. I would advise against using similar binders. Learn more about chest binding here.
