‘I Was Born This Way’ Trailer: Tribeca-Bound Doc Celebrates Singer-Activist Carl Bean, Who Made Gay Anthem Famous, Inspiring Lady Gaga’s Hit
Watch the trailer for the Carl Bean documentary 'I Was Born This Way,' about the singer-turned-minister who inspired Lady Gaga's hit single.
Love observed, “We’re living in a time when our government is systematically erasing LGBTQ and BIPOC people from our collective American history, so a film like I Was Born This Way is not only a means of ensuring a selfless humanitarian like Archbishop Carl Bean is not lost or forgotten, it is also an act of resistance.” “Surviving childhood abuse during his upbringing in Baltimore, Archbishop Carl Bean forged a path to New York and Hollywood to do the one thing he knew he was put on earth to do: sing,” Tribeca’s Andrea Passafiume writes in the festival program. “Featuring innovative rotoscope animation and new interviews with Lady Gaga, Billy Porter, Questlove and Dionne Warwick, I Was Born This Way paints a joyful portrait of Bean, his unconventional path and his impactful mission of love.”
