Sovereign portrays a small Drag community in West Michigan, USA. Traditionally, the act of men dressing as hypersexualized women, Drag is an oddity in West Michigan, a conservative rural area. And yet a group mixing different genders, races, and sexualities can often pack a venue.
Within mainstream culture today, Drag is presented as male, gay, competitive, and ceremonial. Sovereign presents a community that rejects these rigid rules and interpretations of Drag, creating a community for all who wish to participate.
In a society with rigid and polarized views of gender, Sovereign looks at the Drag artists involved, and asks the question "What is drag and what is gender today?"
