Synopsis

IMDb 7.6 high score, Rotten Tomatoes 96% high rating!

Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground hero. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine succeeded in becoming an internationally recognized icon, recording artist, and character actor of stage and screen. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture.

"Schwarz offsets the camp with a sincere appreciation of both the obvious, larger-than-life personality and this performer's oft-overlooked skills."-Mike McCahill, The Guardian
