Queering the Script
Queering the Script is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Gabrielle Zilkha and released in 2019.[1] Beginning at ClexaCon, a fan convention for lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgender women, the film explores the issue of LGBTQ representation in media, including the ways in which social media activism has influenced the telling of queer women's stories in entertainment by organizing campaigns against storytelling tropes such as queerbaiting and Dead Lesbian Syndrome.[2]
