I am Divine re-enacts the life of Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine (1945-1988), iconic muse of John Waters and the underground film world, music star and myth of the LGBT community. It shows his life from his humbles origins in Baltimore as a chubby kid mocked by his classmates, to his extravagant and multitalented drag persona that we all know. She became an international star for her scandalous roles in Mondo Trasho and Pink Flamingos, where her character was "the filthiest person in the world". Her scandalous and trashy appearance contrasted with the typical image transvestites of the sixties pursued, which was elegance and femininity. Her super extra large painted eyebrows (which projected a constant and comic stupefaction look), her rough voice and the resemblance to an overweight Liz Taylor created her "in your face" look, in the style of performers and singers such as Leigh Bowery or Klaus Nomi. A great time to rediscover her rock songs, like Born To Be Cheap or Love Reaction, and of course You Think You're a Man.>
