This steamy, soapy Filipino "macho dancer" drama was so controversial it had to be smuggled out of the country - Queerty

Macho Dancer was once deemed so controversial that its director had to smuggle it out of the country so it could see the light of day. Set within Manila's infamous red-light district, the film was seen as too risqué and possibly even dangerous due to its honest look at homosexuality, sex work, and drag queens, while also shining a light on government corruption.
