Freak Show exclusive clip sees Alex Lawther as a teenage 'gender obliviator'

What happens when Billy Bloom, a self-proclaimed "transvisionary gender obliviator", finds himself catapulted into an ultra-conservative high school?

Relentlessly bullied and harassed by the rest of school, Billy can try to compromise his own identity just to fit in, or he can take a stand - and show up the prejudices of his fellow students by running for homecoming queen.

Trudie Styler makes her directorial debut with Freak Show: a feelgood, LGBTQ take on the high school movie, based on the novel of the same name by James St. James, with a screenplay by Patrick J. Clifton and Beth Rigazio.

Alex Lawther stars as Billy, with Abigail Breslin as the head cheerleader and queen bee, and Bette Midler as Billy's mother.

The film also features Larry Pine, AnnaSophia Robb, Ian Nelson, Lorraine Toussaint, and Laverne Cox.

Freak Show is out in UK cinemas and on-demand now.
