In 1992, aspiring filmmaker Jennifer Critchlow (Devon Barnes) sat with actress and icon Mimi Dafoe (Bonita Hanson) to make a documentary about her life. Over two days of shooting, Mimi refused to actually appear in front of the camera. Lies were told, Lucille Ball was called a communist, and martinis were spilled.
