Using archive footage and interviews, Lisa Cortes' Sundance opening night documentary 'Little Richard: I Am Everything' tells the story of the Black queer origins of rock n' roll, exploding the whitewashed canon of American pop music to reveal the innovator - the originator - Richard Penniman.

Throughout his life, Richard careened like a shiny cracked pinball between God, sex and rock n' roll. The world tried to put him in a box, but Richard was an omni being who contained multitudes - he was unabashedly everything.
