The Show! is a short meditative comedy about teen outsiders from a Chicago public high school who are brought together by classmate and artist, Rachel! The film celebrates the joyful and weird in-between spaces that queer, black, brown, and immigrant students create in a broken school system. It was developed as a collaboration between Chicago public school students, educators, and filmmakers – with youth both in front of and behind the camera.
