Film Overview

With unflinching determination, a visionary entrepreneur and fashion designer continues to take excessive, and questionably responsible, risks to his business in pursuit of addressing crucial social crises and igniting unprecedented social change. Kenneth Cole’s relentless commitment to AIDS, homelessness, LBGTQ+ rights, and now, mental health, has given voice to the voiceless, defied and shattered stigmas, provoked conversation, and empowered action for good.
