Exploring universal themes of identity, dreams and family, the documentary Rebels on Pointe goes behind the scenes with the notorious all-male drag ballet company, commonly known as “The Trocks.” Founded in 1974 in New York City on the heels of the Stonewall riots, The Trocks have since developed a passionate cult following around the world.

The film juxtaposes intimate backstage access, rich archives and history, engaging character driven stories, and dance performances shot in North America, Europe and Japan. Rebels on Pointe is a creative blend of gender-bending artistic expression, diversity, passion and purpose which proves that a ballerina can be an act of revolution … in a tutu.
