The United Nations presents: The Queen of Ireland

The United Nations and The British Museum present a screening of: THE QUEEN OF IRELAND!

Pandora ‘Panti’ Bliss is many things: part glamorous aunt, part Jessica Rabbit. She’s a wittily incisive performer with charisma to burn who is regarded as one of the best drag queens in the world. Created by Rory O’Neill, Panti is also an accidental activist and in her own words ‘a court jester, whose role is to say the unsayable’. This is a documentary film that follows Rory’s journey from the small Mayo town of Ballinrobe to striding the world stage as a symbol for Ireland’s march towards equal marriage.

A documentary film directed by Conor Horgan. Run time: 86’ minutes. Cert: 18+

After the screening, there will be a Q&A with star of the film Panti Bliss/Rory O'Neil and human rights expert Claude Cahn.
