Ladies and Gentlemen: Phatima Rude

2014 • Directed by

Paul R. King

For the last 20 years, Phatima Rude has pioneered and inspired San Francisco's performative alternative queer punk drag scene, yet Phatima remained on the fringe of society, living out of a van. This short documentary follows Phatima's struggles and triumphs with illness, poverty, addiction, and gender identity.
