Description
An aspiring joker moves to Gotham City to make it big, but ends up grappling with her gender identity while forming an anti-comedy troupe and combatting a fascistic caped crusader. Helmed by writer/director/editor/star Vera Drew and using her own life experiences as a basis for the film, THE PEOPLE'S JOKER is a deeply personal journey that's as much documentary as it is parody.
