A Deeper Love: The Story of Miss Peppermint follows trailblazing performer and activist Peppermint across nearly a decade of her life and career, capturing her journey from the underground stages of nightlife to global visibility through RuPaul’s Drag Race and her groundbreaking appearances on Broadway.

Moving between intimate private moments and major public milestones, this highly entertaining and insightful documentary reveals the realities behind the spotlight: the struggle to survive as a working artist, the pressure of becoming a symbol, and the friendships that sustain her along the way. Executive produced by Elliot Page and Bob the Drag Queen, and featuring appearances from icons including Laverne Cox, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, and Sasha Velour, the film expands beyond a single biography to explore the vibrant Queer community that surrounds and inspires Peppermint. At its heart, A Deeper Love is a story about persistence, chosen family, and the power of Queer artists to shape culture while fighting to live authentically.
