A drag icon’s legacy unfolds through her family—and the fierce love of her chosen family.

Michelle Ross: Unknown Icon, directed by Alison Duke, is a moving and visually rich documentary that explores the layered legacy of Michelle Ross—the trailblazing Jamaican-Canadian drag performer whose sudden death in 2021 revealed a life lived in fragments, across identities, communities, and silences.

The documentary will stream on CBC Gem and CBC Docs YouTube channel on October 8, 2025.
