Description

Encore: Bringing back some of the hottest documentaries for an encore presentation.

I Am Divine is the definitive biographical portrait of Harris Glenn Milstead (a.k.a. Divine), honouring him in the way he always craved—as a serious artist and immortal star. Like the characters he portrayed in numerous films Divine was the ultimate outsider. He transformed himself from a bullied, overweight schoolyard kid to a cult superstar, and stood up for millions of gay men and women, female impersonators, punk rockers and countless others. With a completely committed in-your-face style, Divine blurred the line between performer and personality, revolutionizing pop culture. I Am Divine combines rare footage with new interviews featuring John Waters, Ricki Lake, Mink Stole, Tab Hunter, Holly Woodlawn, Michael Musto and many more.
