Little Richard: I Am Everything

Lisa Cortés · 2023 · 98 minutes · USA
Little Richard: I Am Everything Poster

The story of the Black queer origins of rock n' roll. It explodes the whitewashed canon of American pop music to reveal the innovator – the originator – Richard Penniman. Through a wealth of archive and performance that brings us into Richard's complicated inner world, the film unspools the icon's life story with all its switchbacks and contradictions.
