What is it about? Little Richard: I Am Everything
The story of the black, gay 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.
Genres: documentary, music. Themes: artists' life, biography, rhythm and blues (r&b), black singer, eccentric artist, gospel singer.
