The movie The Birdcage had a long, strange journey to America's big screen. To tell that story, we're going back in time to a French royal palace in the 1970s, where two comedians created a gay farce called La Cage Aux Folles ... then we'll meet a trio of revolutionary American artists mounting a nearly-disastrous Broadway spectacular in the 1980s ... before landing at a struggling movie studio in the 90s that gambled big on putting two gay dads in front of a deeply skeptical American audience. Get ready for the story of the writers, actors, and producers who carried a comic misadventure over decades and continents to show the world the true meaning of family values.
