Forever's Gonna Start Tonight

The documentary of Michelle Lawler is a tribute to a living legend, the oldest professional American drag artist, Vicki Marlane. The director, Michelle Lawler, maps out half a century of performances by the transgender artist, Vicki: from her beginnings as a farm boy when she left her home state of Minnesota to her performances in cabarets and clubs when she became a San Francisco gay icon to up until now when she is still performing at the age of seventy-six. HIV positive, Vicki Marlane, accompanies the viewers through the stormy years of her youth right up to the present. Amongst other things the documentary tackles the still overlooked issued of ageism.
