Little Richard: I Am Everything

From Macon, Georgia, to the rock ’n’ roll hall of fame, Lisa Cortes’s documentary traces Little Richard’s resounding impact through music history and uncovers a portrait of a man torn between the forces of music, sex and religion. His strict religious upbringing left an indelible mark and set him on a complicated road fuelled by contradictions. But it also propelled him to a new life, to find his true self and inspire others in ways that he was unable to do for himself. Featuring interviews with Little Richard, his family, Black and queer scholars, and legends of the industry – Billy Porter, John Waters, Mick Jagger – and complete with electrifying live performances, I Am Everything is a celebration of the impact of an indefinable star.
