Freedia Got a Gun is a World of Wonder documentary film starring Big Freedia and directed by Chris McKim.[1] Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato and McKim served as producers.[2] The 85-minute film focuses on gun violence and follows Freedia as she revisits her New Orleans hometown.[3][4]

Freedia's younger brother, Adam Ross, was murdered by gun violence in 2018, inspiring her to make the film.[5][6]

The film's world premiere was at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival.[7] It also aired at the AFI Docs Film Festival in June 2020.[8][9] The film streamed on Peacock in October 2020.[10]

Awards and reception

[edit]

The film was awarded the 2020 Award for Freedom at the Outfest Film Festival.[11] It was reviewed as a "call to action" [12] and The New York Times said "Freedia's beguiling charisma carries the film, and it makes the case that her impressive power, in conjunction with collective action, could help carry a movement, too."[13]
