Little Richard

In this groundbreaking look at the life and legacy of a global icon, Emmy®-winning filmmaker Lisa Cortés (HBO's The Apollo) explores the Black queer origins of rock n' roll through the lens of celebrated artist Richard Penniman – better known as Little Richard. Through a wealth of archival footage and performances revealing his complicated inner world, the film traces Richard's humble origins in a segregated Macon, Georgia to his explosive entry into the whitewashed canon of American popular music. Featuring interviews with friends, family, and fellow musicians, as well as Black and queer scholars, Little Richard: I Am Everything illuminates how Richard created an art form for unabashed self-expression that he was ultimately never able to give himself.

Rescued from drowning in the swimming pool of a nouveau riche Beverly Hills couple (Richard Dreyfuss, Bette Midler), a disconsolate bum (Nick Nolte) brings startling and hilarious changes to the entire household -- including the family dog, Matisse.
