One-of-a-kind provocateur Divine, was a Baltimore misfit who traded playground ridicule for high heels, sequins, and global infamy. Partnering with the king of cinematic sleaze, John Waters, Divine laughed in the face of boring norms.

Largely crowdfunded through the power of social media, I Am Divine is a loving and definitive biographical portrait, made by and for the fans. Body image, gender, sexuality, beauty, Divine spat on them all and made it fabulous.

MQFF presents I Am Divine, paired with a Fed Square free screening of Divine in John Waters’ Hairspray.

* Audiences are advised this film contains explicit sexuality, homophobia, transphobia, drug use, swearing and eating of dog shit.
