As a native of western Pennsylvania, I can only concur with Jessica-11 that this documentary shows important aspects of life there. The countryside was lush and green, the trip into the coal mine was fascinating, the competitors showed talent and poise, and the returning queens had wonderful stories. In addition, it was a kick to see Fabian as the husband of one of those former queens.
This is a slice a small-town life as I remember it, complete with farm equipment in the big parade and dinner at the fire hall.
Every aspect was treated with the dignity it deserved, though the filmmakers didn't shy away from controversy as competitors strove to get the technical director of the pageant to present them in the best light (or with the best sound).
Thanks for Patricia Heaton for producing this charming film.
