175. REUBEN BERNARDO QHAPAQ

A QUEER LATINO-INDIGENOUS DRAG QUEEN TURNED FILMMAKER Reuben Bernardo Qhapaq shares his journey from Ecuador to San Francisco, surviving chronic illness and a rigid adoptive home, finding community as a teenage runaway in the city's underground Latino drag scene, going from high school dropout to AFI graduate, and why his upcoming short Esta Noche honors the queer elders who helped him survive.
