Goddess: The Fall and Rise of Showgirls
Upon its release in 1995, Showgirls was reviled and dismissed as a cinematic disaster. But in the years since, the movie has risen from the ashes to become a beloved cult classic. Goddess: The Fall and Rise of Showgirls tells the untold story of how the film was made, the journey of its lead actress Elizabeth Berkley, and how both the film and its star found redemption in the hearts of a devoted fanbase.

In 1973, Americans were introduced to a young man named Lance Loud, breakout star of the landmark PBS documentary series An American Family.

Lance Out Loud! explores Loud’s colorful life and shows how he pioneered changes in American culture.
