Genesis P-Orridge lived her art and died three times for it. Persecuted by Queen Elizabeth, a disciple of Nepalese monks and African witch doctors; Gen revolutionized music, art and gender – all without most of the world even knowing.

Genesis P-Orridge lived their art to the extreme. A pioneering musician, avant-garde artist, spiritual explorer and gender revolutionary, Genesis has been featured in films and videos, but never the full story… never this intimate. Until now. In this authorized but raw and personal documentary, award-winning director David Charles Rodrigues (“Gay Chorus Deep South”) documents the final year of P-Orridge’s existence as they grapple with mortality and, in the process, reveal the many sacrifices and ultimate payoffs of a life that transcended boundaries.

Featuring William Burroughs, Brion Gyson, Timothy Leary, Alice Genese (Psychic TV), David J (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets), Nepalese monks, African witch doctors, and a special cameo by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, plus never-before-seen archival treasures, including performances from Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV.
