/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In one of his final and most heartfelt interviews, beloved Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace, Call Me Kat, Sordid Lives) stars in Body Electric, a compelling new documentary now on Amazon Prime Video. Joining Jordan are comedy icon Bruce Vilanch, acclaimed playwright Del Shores, comedian Judy Gold, trans activist Rajee Narinesingh, and Actress/Writer Shakina, who come together to share candid, deeply personal stories about body image, dysmorphia, and identity in the LGBTQ+ community. The film, directed by Tony Award-winner Nick Demos, has garnered praise throughout its successful award-winning film festival run.
Body Electric is a deeply personal and timely exploration of body dysmorphia, body image, and aging within the LGBTQ+ community. Blending emotional candor with artistic insight, the film delves into the extremities of black market injectables, steroid use, eating disorders, and plastic surgery, while also confronting the lasting trauma of the AIDS crisis. It offers a powerful reminder of the resilience, beauty, and strength found within the queer experience.
The film features moving interviews with beloved Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace, Call Me Kat, Sordid Lives) in one of his final film appearances, along with comedians Judy Gold (Awkwafina is Nora from Queens) and Bruce Vilanch (The Academy Awards, The Tony Awards), playwright Del Shores (A Sordid Lives, Southern Baptist Sissies), trans activist Rajee Narinesingh (Botched), Actress/Writer Shakina (Quantum Leap, Difficult People ) and Jason Caceres (Boy Culture), among others.
"This has been a labor of love for everyone involved," says director Nick Demos. "We're proud to share this story with audiences around the world and continue the conversation around visibility, acceptance, and healing."
