Also Known AsStories Untold: Meet Queer SWANA Sex Workers and Drag Performers
About Stories Untold: Meet Queer SWANA Sex Workers and Drag Performers
The histories of queer people of color, especially from the SWANA (Southwest Asia/North Africa) region, remains generally unwritten. The lack of this critical representation has served as a guiding axis of Charachchi, a multimedia project created by queer Armenians. "Stories Untold: Meet Queer SWANA Sex Workers and Drag Performers" highlights the stories of queer SWANA sex workers and drag performers, bringing visibility to voices that have remained hidden within mainstream media, history, and cultural spaces.
Directed by James Melikyan, Erik Adamian, Stories Untold: Meet Queer SWANA Sex Workers and Drag Performers leans on a strong ensemble — Anoush Ellah, Feltaan, Aram Giragos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.
