Abstract:
Welcome to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a one-of-a-kind oasis in the Ozarks where Christian piety rubs shoulders with a thriving queer community. This lushly photographed documentary spotlights the space where the town's seemingly contradictory factions intersect: Lee and Walter, out and proud husband-owners of a local gay bar they liken to a "hillbilly Studio 54," talk about their deep-seated faith; a Christian t-shirt designer describes his love for his gay father; and everything comes together in a show-stopping mash-up of a spectacular passion play and raucous drag show. The result is a joyously offbeat slice of Americana that breaks down the red-state-blue-state divide. Nominated for Best Documentary at the **SXSW Film Festival.** "*This cheerful small town portrait makes for an idealistic crowd-pleaser -- after all, Eureka Springs is the rumored home of healing waters.*" - Amy Nicholson, ***Variety***
