Johnson's life and to examine her suspicious 1992 death. Using modern-day interviews, archived videos, and highlighting her friendship with fellow trans activist Sylvia Rivera, the film illuminates her lasting legacy and how her bravery influenced the LGBTQI+ movement we see today. ✦Bessie Captures the life of iconic blues singer Bessie Smith (Queen Latifah). The biopic centers on the intersections of childhood trauma, race, gender, bisexuality and how the Tennessee native broke barriers and rose to fame in the 1920s and 1930s.
