Synopsis: Sandie Crisp, better known as “Goddess Bunny”, is a one-of-a-kind icon: a disabled, transgender drag queen whose presence is shocking, hilarious, abrasive, and unexpectedly tender all at once.
There has simply never been anyone like her. This documentary is a wild, emotional ride through a life lived without apology. It begins in 1991, when Sandie is 31 years old, and follows her extraordinary journey across three decades.
At its heart is the deeply personal relationship between filmmaker and photographer Matthew Kuhara Patrick and Sandie herself.
Over the years, their bond grows into something more than collaboration, they adopt each other as family: Matthew as the protective older brother, and Sandie as the fiercely independent little sister.
Against all odds, Sandie becomes a cult figure in the world of underground film, performance art, and music. She appears in independent movies, television broadcasts, and rock videos, including the unforgettable appearance in “The Dope Show” by Marilyn Manson. Her striking portrait by legendary photographer Joel-Peter Witkin now hangs in the Louvre Museum.
But fame is only a small part of Sandie’s story. Life dealt her a brutal hand, physical disability, poverty, exploitation, and a world often unwilling to see her humanity. Death and hardship linger constantly at the edges of her life. Yet Sandie confronts it all with biting humor, fierce honesty, and a spirit that refuses to surrender.
This is not a comfortable story. At times it’s shocking. At times heartbreaking. At times wildly funny. But it is always riveting.
Once you start watching, it’s impossible to look away.
You may be disturbed.
You may be moved.
But one thing is certain:
You will never forget Sandie Crisp.
