Summary

- The documentary focuses on Susan Powter's human story and resilience.
A dedicated filmmaker tracked down the elusive Susan Powter after a year of searching, finding her living in poverty in Las Vegas. The filmmaker, initially inspired by Powter's 90s media presence, eventually located her through an Instagram fan account, leading to an unexpected connection.
Powter readily agreed to participate in a documentary, sharing her raw, human story. The filming process, which began with intimate sessions in her apartment, captured her profound evolution and re-emergence into herself, rather than just a return to pop culture.
This independent film emphasizes Powter's authentic narrative without celebrity filters. It serves as a powerful commentary on unseen struggles and poverty in America, intended to be viewed as a snapshot of societal issues rather than a mere celebrity exposé.
