The Goddess Bunny is a 1998 American documentary directed by Nick Bougas, which is about the life of a transvestite named Johnnie Baima (also known as the Goddess Bunny or Sandie Crisp).[2]
Overview
The film depicts a tour of the Los Angeles, California underground transgender, lesbian, and gay nightclub scene, as hosted by the Goddess Bunny (Johnnie Baima) a deformed, tap dancing transvestite. The film also explores the life of Baima, mainly focusing on his gender transition into a woman, as well as her battle with Polio as a child.
Controversy
The film became a subject of controversy when a portion of the documentary's main subject, a handicapped transgender woman named the Goddess Bunny tap dancing, was released online under the title, Obey the Walrus, and subsequently went viral.[3] According to the video's description on YouTube, it was created by a Latin American cult known as, La Morsa (the Walrus), and that bad things are supposed to happen to whoever watched the video. The video has been debunked by many websites, which stated there is no evidence to prove the existence of a cult named La Morsa, and that the video is completely fake.
