Divine Trash

John Waters, Baltimore's provocateur filmmaker, transforms taboo subjects and marginal characters into iconic cinematic statements. His early, no-budget filmmaking defied social conventions and forged an entire midnight movie subculture. This documentary traces the director's creative odyssey, from his initial avant-garde experiments with the legendary Dreamlanders troupe to the notorious success of 'Pink Flamingos.' It's a journey into the mind of an artist who elevated bad taste to an art form and wielded shock as his primary aesthetic tool.
