Being BeBe: The BeBe Zahara Benet Documentary

BEING BEBE intimately charts 15 years-in-the-life of drag performer BeBe Zahara Benet: an immigrant from Cameroon, first winner on iconic reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race, and legendary artist celebrating Black Queer Excellence today. The documentary raises timely concerns at the intersection of LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and immigrant lives, within a context that celebrates the power of art and selfacceptance. The film parallels Marshall’s fight to maintain the trajectory of his career alongside a deep connection with his traditional African roots and family. It also introduces LGBTQ+ youth and activists in Cameroon, where Queer identity is criminalized.
