ABOUT THE FILM

Immigrating from Cameroon, a country where Queerness is criminalized, a young man finds his purpose through performance, and eventually becomes the very first winner of now-iconic reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race. BEING BEBE is a new documentary telling this story.

MAKE AN IMPACT

There are individuals of all  identities around the world that stand to be affirmed, uplifted, and empowered by BeBe’s story.

At a moment when the backlash against gender expansiveness is extra heightened in the U.S. and abroad, our aim is for the unique and positive representation in this film to be a useful tool supporting efforts to make the world a safer place for all the “Baby BeBes” out there

Why host a screening?

Unlike watching a film at home alone, hosting an in-person or virtual screening is a powerful way to strengthen mutual understanding & belonging at work.

Hosting a screening of BEING BEBE, with Marshall (aka BeBe), the filmmaker, and your team all sharing interactively is an especially unique, uplifting and memorable experience.

 
 

 

BEING BEBE is a film that:

  • Challenges stereotypes & prejudice
  • Represents, destigmatizes & empowers diverse gender expression
  • Inspires persistence, self-acceptance & empowerment
  • Celebrates the value & power of art
  • Models family acceptance & love 
 
The dialogues and mind-shifts coming out of our workplace screenings and events are powerful and transformative – among individuals of all types of lived experiences, identities and worldviews.

“This necessary documentary comes at a time when drag performances are being threatened with anti-LGBTQ laws. A drag queen story told with integrity is exactly the positive representation we could all use right now.” 

– Judy Bokao, Matthew’s Place,
A Program of the Matthew Shepard Foundation

“We were so happy to provide this screening and Q&A for our company’s Pride eventWe got such positive feedback from everybody who participated.”

– Sierra Pritchard, Office & Talent Manager, One North

“An abundant intersection of cultural issues… the drag documentary that the modern world needs to see.”

– Jasmine Valentine, Movie Marker (UK)
