Heals traces the life of international drag star Pangina Heals from a traumatic childhood to becoming Asia’s first drag queen with a Las Vegas residency.
Behind the lashes and laughter is Pan Pan Narkprasert, a Queer Thai artist who transformed pain into power. Once a lonely, bullied child, Pan Pan found refuge in drag—and through it, rose to become one of Asia’s most celebrated performers. This intimate documentary follows his journey from family turmoil to a groundbreaking Las Vegas residency, set against the vibrant backdrop of Thailand’s Queer culture. Raw and emotionally charged, Heals explores how drag becomes more than performance: it is a means of healing intergenerational trauma, reclaiming identity within a traditional Thai-Chinese family, and building a chosen family of one’s own.
