Film Description:

The art documentary Blossoming captures the premiere of the world’s first original Chinese queer musical, Blossoming (You Undo Me), in London. As the first documentary makers to cover this unique cultural event, we focus on musical director Xun Huang’s journey from being born illegally in a remote rural village to shining on London’s West End stage—a profound exploration of identity and self-expression.
