Queen of Bounce, Big Freedia uses her platform to shift focus on gun violence after her brother Adam was murdered in new documentary Freedia Got A Gun.
Directed by Chris McKim, the documentary follows Freedia as she shares her journey from growing up gay in the projects through Hurricane Katrina and chasing her dreams. All the while, she dives deep into New Orleans’ history of gun violence as she shares her own experiences as well as stories from mothers, fathers, and children who have been affected by the epidemic which continues to disproportionately harm Black communities.
Freedia Got a Gun comes from World of Wonder and is produced by McKim, Randy Barbato, and Fenton Bailey. Charles Blow is the executive producer.
