Country Town Pride 2019

A Transgender Truckie's Mardi Gras Mission

Directed by Catherine Scott

Country Town Pride follows the inspirational story of Holly Conroy, a transgender woman from country NSW, as she bids to stage a Mardi Gras in her home town of Wagga Wagga - Australia's No 1 Christian town. As she herself undergoes gender reassignment surgery to complete her transition, Holly has to confront Christian priests, conservative politicians, her homophobic neighbour, and even her own brother as she attempts to pull off the first-ever pride parade in this conservative stronghold. With an official green light from Wagga Wagga City Council, sponsors, supporters and floats ready to roll, will the Wagga locals turn out in force? Or will the town's Christians and conservatives rain on Holly's parade?
