John Waters's legendary muse is nothing if not complex. Divine's humble beginnings as a bullied Baltimore youth were shaken up when he became an internationally renowned drag star, but he remained a pop culture outsider, shirking conventions of gender identity, sexuality, body image, beauty, and more in favor of a brash, revolutionary style. Get into the nitty-gritty of the drag great's tumultuous rise to fame in I Am Divine, a documentary packed with interviews and clips that tell a wildly affecting story. Proceeds from this screening will benefit the prison abolition and LGBTQIA2S+ liberation organization Black & Pink.
