A bond between brothers, a coming-out story, and an international song contest.
William Lee Adams is one of the leading voices covering the Eurovision Song Contest, criss-crossing the continent to interview stars and live-stream shows. But as a child growing up in small-town America, he was made to feel invisible; encouraged to suppress his Vietnamese heritage and questions about his sexuality. He found solace in caring for his brother, John, who had severe physical disabilities due to a brain condition. Even so, he needed an escape route.
William has written a memoir called Wild Dances: My Queer and Curious Journey to Eurovision.
Presenter: India Rakusen
