About this event

Dir: Lisa Cortes; 2023 (101 mins.)

It’s hard to believe that the “Architect of Rock and Roll” has never been the subject of an extensive documentary before…until now.

One of Rock’s most influential figures, Little Richard used charismatic showmanship with frenetic piano playing to become one of the first crossover black (and queer-oriented) artists who played a key role in the creation and popularization of genres like soul and funk.

Little Richard left behind an overwhelming legacy, and Lisa Cortes unpacks it all right here in a film the LA Times described as “embracing, ear-pleasing, and fizzy.”
