The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros

A perfect time capsule that perfectly captures what it was like to grow up queer in the early 2000s, especially if you grew up in communities near the slums of metro manila or simply in the province. I know many Maximos, many Kuya Bogs, Kuya Boys, and Papas. Fifteen minutes in and I already found myself crying because this was a reality I saw firsthand with my community.
