Join us for a free screening of I was Born This Way, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Daniel Junge.

Co-directed by Daniel Junge and Sam Pollard, I Was Born This Way explores the life and legacy of Bean and his resounding message, “Love is for everyone.” It includes gorgeous archival footage and innovative rotoscope animation, as well as appearances by Lady Gaga, Questlove, Billy Porter, and Dionne Warwick. The documentary premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in June 2025, and went on to screen at DC/Dox Film Festival, Frameline: the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival, and Sheffield DocFest in the United Kingdom.
