Summary:
"This is a documentary that explores the life of one of South Africa's most outrageous and vibrant characters - Granny Lee. By outfitting himself with over the top costumes, heavy makeup, a foul mouth and a passion for the nightlife he became the most notorious denizen of Johannesburg's decadent clubland in the seventies and eighties. The story of Granny Lee is a fascinating journey that merges the personal with the political. It is a life of illusion, glamour and struggle in the shadow of the racial and sexual repression of Apartheid"--Web page.
