Summary

"Little Richard: I Am Everything tells the story of the Black queer origins of rock n' roll, exploding the whitewashed canon of American pop music to reveal the innovator--the originator--Richard Penniman. Through a wealth of archival footage, performances, and interviews, the film unspools the icon's life story with all its switchbacks and contradictions."--Container.
