Hedwig is the "internationally ignored" post punk, neo-glam rock legend who was an off-Broadway sensation and now comes to life in 'A HAND GRENADE OF A FILM' (Andrew L. Urban), written, directed and starring the enormously talented John Cameron Mitchell. Born a boy in Communist East Berlin, Hansel mkes the ultimate trans-gender transformation to get into the USA and becomes Hedwig - an acid tongued modern incarnation of Ziggy Stardust, Frankenfurter, Farrah Fawcett and Mae West. Bitter, broke and stranded in a Kansas trailer park, Hedwig puts on her best wig, make up, high hells and takes a walk on the wild side, touring America with her band The Angry Inch. Through a blishtering collage of rock songs, flashbacks, wisecracks, animation, anguish and acid-wash, Hedwig takes us on an unforgettable journey to discover the origins of love.
