A documentary look at the annual Labor Day festival-in-drag held in lower Manhattan. The founder of Wigstock, Lady Bunny, hosts the festivities for an audience of 20,000, who witness a fantastic array of costumes and celebrity impersonators. Famous stars such as Alexis Arquette, RuPaul and Lypsinka also make appearances.
