Emily Branham and her amazing team have created an electrifying and delightful film that sparkles with all the flashy sequins, death defying stilettos, and mind-bending transformations one might expect from the drag world. But it also has something rare and precious, something we don't see enough of in the media and entertainment world these days: heart.
This beautiful chronicle takes us beyond the spotlight, the curtain, the glam, the lashes and hair, into a tight shot of the humanity at the epicenter of it all. A deep dive into the quest of an artist: the sweat, the determination, the mastery, the heartbreak, the triumph. The continuing fight of the soul to find its voice in a world where so many voices are either ignored or silenced.
An important story that masterfully teaches as it entertains, Being Bebe reminds us that beneath our many faces and masks we all share the same beating heart. An absolute delight that will linger in your consciousness long after the closing credits.
