Freak Show
Part of the American Dreams Strand
Trudie Styler’s directorial debut tackles bullying and prejudice in flamboyant style with this coming-of-age comedy-drama. When his mother sends him away to live with his father, Billy Bloom is ripped from his glamorous life in the city and dumped in unforgiving small town society. After a severe bullying incident leaves him hospitalised, Bloom decides he will not cower in the shadows, and makes it his mission to change positions through his campaign to run for Homecoming Queen.
