The Other Queen of Memphis - Film - 22min - 2024
présenté dans le cadre de l'exposition Panorama 26
Film
Memphis, Tennessee. Rapper Lachat (Chastity Daniels) takes us on a journey through her own stories, guiding us through a city full of ghosts and dreams. Memphis is the city where Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968 at the Lorraine Motel, and it was never the same after that. We see music queens and ghosts from a time that cannot be named.
After the death of her best friend, the rap icon Gangsta Boo, in 2023, Lachat gives us an intimate account of where it all began for her.
