Little Richard: I Am Everything (2023)

movie · 98 min · English · 7.3/10 (IMDb 7.4) · 7+

Streaming in Sweden on Cineasterna and SVT Play.

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.

Starring Little Richard, John Waters, Mick Jagger, Billy Porter, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Nona Hendryx, Valerie June.
