DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
A revealing movie about the tumultuous life of Little Richard Penniman, whose groundbreaking music revolutionized rock ‘n’ roll. Growing up a social misfit in poverty, Little Richard’s passion, talent, and flamboyance catapulted him into the limelight of rock music. His career was rocked by his homosexuality, his fundamental beliefs and the pervasive discrimination within the music industry. We go through his chart-topping years when he lived the quintessential Rock ‘n’ Roll life, indulging in all-night orgies and spiritual callings that pulled him in and out of the music industry.
But as drug and alcohol addiction plagued his career in the late 60’s, Little Richard makes the life-saving decision to return to his family. Through their love and strength, and Little Richard’s resolve, he moves on in history to become one of the most memorable performers in rock ‘n’ roll.
