Through a wealth of archive and performance that brings us into Richard Penniman’s complicated inner world, the film unspools the icon’s life story with all its switchbacks and contradictions. In interviews with family, musicians, and cutting-edge Black and queer scholars, the film reveals how Richard created an art form for ultimate self-expression, yet what he gave to the world he was never able to give to himself. Throughout his life, Richard careened like a shiny cracked pinball between God, sex and rock n’ roll The world tried to put him in a box, but Richard was an omni being who contained multitudes — he was unabashedly everything.

“….does an impressive job of reminding us how much generations of rock stars, from Tom Jones to Mick Jagger, Elton John and Prince, have owed to Little Richard, and how radical his presence was in a world not yet ready to pay for his talent.” – UK Observer

“Little Richard: I Am Everything is chock-full of useful information from music scholars, historians, and fans. But Cortés’s wisest move is to let us hear from the singer himself.” – Boston Globe
