A Deeper Love: The Story of Miss Peppermint (U.S., Directed by Oriel Pe'er, 86 min.)

A Deeper Love is an award-winning documentary following nearly a decade in the life of Miss Peppermint, a Black trans artist and activist whose decision to come out publicly as trans marked a turning point for trans representation on stage and screen. The film traces her rise to fame from New York City nightlife to making history on RuPaul’s Drag Race and Broadway, as she navigates transition, career, love life, and sisterhood, emerging as a powerful voice in the fight for trans representation and justice.

Made over years of rare access and unguarded footage, the documentary reveals Peppermint’s full humanity in all its grit and glamour. It’s a story of survival and resilience, queer joy, chosen family, and the radical power of being truly visible.
