Panda Dulce, a San Francisco drag queen, is premiering a new short film that fictionalizes the violent interruption of Drag Queen Story Hour at the San Lorenzo Library in 2022. During this event, right-wing Proud Boys disrupted the reading with hateful slurs, but Panda Dulce continued to read to the children present, demonstrating remarkable resilience. Her new project reflects on the trauma and aftermath of that disturbing incident, showcasing her commitment and strength in using art to address social issues.
"It's actually a fictionalized version of the real-life event, as Chu explains in a synopsis. In the aftermath of a terrifying incident during a drag story hour, a drag queen faces a different kind of repercussions from the attack."
"Despite the violent disruption, Panda Dulce remains committed to Drag Queen Story Hour, embodying resilience through her art and creativity as seen in her new short film."
