A three-part docuseries about the prolific and glittery life of Raffaella Carrà, an LGBTQ diva and feminist icon, is set to premiere on Hulu this month. The much-adored singer-actress-activist may be a stranger to some of us on this side of the pond, but Raffa’s influence is deeply felt across 20th-century Europe and Latin America, where she fought against repressive, conservative, and anti-free speech policies in her own vivaciously transgressive way.
In an obituary by NPR, Raffa was described as being a “compelling combination” of Donna Summer, Barbara Walters, and Ann-Margret, and sure enough, Raffa seems to have lived brilliant, multiple lives, which the docuseries explores via never-before-seen footage and interviews.
Where to watch Raffa Season One
In the US, all three episodes of Raffa Season 1 will be available to stream on Hulu on December 27. Elsewhere, it’s set to premiere on Disney+.
