A Deeper Love:
The Story of Miss Peppermint
Written, directed, and produced by
Oriel Pe’er
A Deeper Love is a decade-long unfiltered portrait of Peppermint - trailblazing performer, trans icon, and LGBTQ+ activist. Tracing her rise from New York City nightlife to making history on RuPaul’s Drag Race and Broadway, the film pulls back the curtain on fame, transition, and the cost of living in the spotlight as a Black trans woman.
