The documentary 'Love & Rage' portrays Munroe Bergdorf’s journey from feeling out of place due to her race and sexuality to celebrating her identity. It highlights her resilience, particularly during public controversies, such as her firing from L'Oreal after speaking out against racism. Bergdorf's story is one of growth, self-acceptance, and activism, as she openly discusses her struggles with mental health and her experiences in media debates. The film captures her rise in the fashion industry while revealing the personal toll her public life takes on her.
When she was younger, Munroe Bergdorf didn't want to be queer or black. I just wanted to fit in. Now those are the two things that I love most about myself.
Bergdorf is willing to share a platform with people who deny her existence, and it looks incredibly bruising at times.
It's like armour. But clearly it takes a toll, and her openness about her mental health, like everything, is commendable.
Her response to Greer is gentle but insistent: We exist, we deserve respect like anyone else.
