Bingo! The Documentary
Directed by John Jeffcoat
“Everybody’s gotta win a little
bit of something...”
— Neville, Blackpool’s Queen of Drag
Filmmaker John Jeffcoat takes an unanticipated, and often endearing look at all that is Bingo! from welfare recipients to drag queens and the Catholic Church— in all it’s gaudy, bawdy, and grandly humorous. Filmed on location throughout the United States, Europe and even on a floating Carnival Cruise Bingo Ship in the Caribbean, the film reveals all that lies below the gloss of American kitsch: an unexpected subculture of eccentric and tightly-knit people for whom hope truly springs eternal. |
