Plot.

Pedro Lemebel, the writer and visual artist, defeated a marginal childhood to become one of the first to shake up Chile’s conservative society during Pinochet’s dictatorship. Dressed in feather boas, stilettos and a sharp tongue, he staged revolutionary performances that defied the era’s terror, he said what no one wanted to hear in a homophobic, repressed and militarized country.

Wiki.

Lemebel is a Chilean documentary film, directed by Joanna Reposi Garibaldi and released in 2019. The film is a portrait of Pedro Lemebel, an influential Chilean poet. It focuses on his artistic activity that started during the military dictatorship, his memories of his mother, and his battle against cancer, which ultimately led to his death in 2015.

The film had its theatrical premiere in February 2019 at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Teddy Award for best LGBTQ-related documentary film.
