The Filthiest People Alive dives into the raw and visceral world of Sextia N'Eight, a drag performer whose acts challenge both the audience and the norms of performance art.

N'Eight's performances—marked by extreme body modification and morbid themes—raise questions about beauty, art, and mortality. The practical effects are unsettling and thought-provoking, creating a visceral viewing experience. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from discomfort, making it distinctive in the realm of documentary filmmaking.
