Alaska Is a Drag
Movie • 2017
ReportSynopsis
Tough, but diva fabulous, Leo, an aspiring drag superstar, is stuck working in a fish cannery in Alaska. He and his twin sister are trapped in the monotony of fist fights and fish guts. Out of necessity, Leo learned to fight back, which catches the attention of the local boxing coach. When a new boy moves to town and wants to be his sparring partner, Leo has to face the real reason he's stuck in Alaska.

But the cannery with all of the dead fish is a lot (can be described as graphic)

** SPOILER ** The Love Interest is hit repeatedly to get the MC to cave to the homophobic coworkers demands. They are forced to fight each other but they get out of it without really fighting. Following scene is more upbeat and resolves tension.

As noted above, Love Interest seems to struggle with substance abuse (drinking) and there is another character who is sober and goes to AA. ** SPOILER ** The sober coworker does go to a bar (not shown) after coaxing from another coworker. However, the coaxer then goes to AA and their relationship ends more upbeat.

Characters drink (one underage) and multiple scenes take place in a gay bar. Love interest drinks often, sometimes alone first, and seems to be related to depression which may be triggering to some viewers. At one point he is unable to stand because of it. Casual mentions of AA meetings as other commenter says (may be invalidating to some as coworker tries to get the other to go for a drink).

Unclear, pronouns of several characters that do drag are never disclosed, so it's unclear if they are misgendered or not

Frequent use of the f-slur. ** SPOILER (relevant to trope used) ** the ringleader of the homophobic coworkers is gay, or at least had inklings with the MC, and that is why he harasses him.
