Synopsis
Donna, a woman in her seventies from San Jose, California, performs vibrant lipsynching acts in local bars. Raised in a strict Baptist family, she faced limitations on her self-expression. Her estranged siblings have never seen her in a dress, marking a significant divide in her life. Through her performances, Donna embraces her identity and seeks self-acceptance. Directed by Jay Bedwani, the documentary runs for 75 minutes and reflects on the role of art in personal expression during later years.
