"Vida Boheme"
(1995) 103 minutes
Director: Beeban Kidron
Cast: Patrick Swayze (Vida Boheme), Wesley Snipes (Noxeema Jackson), John Leguizamo (Chi Chi Rodriguez)
Patrick as you have never seen him before, as the wonderful Vida! With her two travelling companions, Noxeema and
Chi Chi, Vida sets out on a voyage across the United States with California and the Drag Queen of America Contest
as their goal. On the way, their transport - a dubious "bargain" from a second-hand car lot - breaks down, leaving
the Drag Queens stranded in Mid-West America. The three friends are accepted by the unworldly locals for what they
seem to be - ladies in distress. They bring new ways to the sleepy town with their attitude to life and beauty
tips - "moisturise!" A modern tale with a soft center.
