Drag Invasion (Spanish: Invasión Drag) is a 2020 Peruvian documentary film written, produced and directed by Alberto Castro in his directorial debut.[1] It follows the phenomenon of the arrival in Lima of the drag queens from the reality show RuPaul's Drag Race in 2017.[2] It is the first film of Castro's documentary trilogy about LGBTIQ+ in Peru following Salir del clóset (2022) and Lima Is Burning (2023).[3]
In 2017, dozens of drag queens from the international competition reality show RuPaul's Drag Race arrived in Lima, Peru and sold out each of their performances. Weaving their stories with those of local drag artists, the film documents artistic and political mobilization in the LGBTQ community in a country generally regarded as hostile to LGBTQ people.[4]
