The documentary 'Pee-wee as Himself' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, presenting the life and struggles of actor Paul Reubens. Through 40 hours of deep interviews, Reubens expresses his emotions regarding his closeted identity, career, and the public scandals that marked his life. It also includes touching moments such as his frank discussions about his terminal cancer diagnosis, highlighting the urgency of sharing his truth. This revealing perspective aims to connect with audiences on a personal and profound level, fulfilling Reubens' desire to be seen beyond his public persona.
"More than anything, the reason I wanted to make a documentary was for people to see who I really am, and how painful and dreadful it was to be labeled something I wasn't."
"Death is just so final ... To be able to get your message in at the last minute, at some point, is incredible."
