“Spider Mites of Jesus: the Dirtwoman Doc” at the Byrd Theatre

Thursday, April 25

Finally, the premiere of the documentary by Jerry Williams about one of Richmond’s most legendary and memorable characters, Donnie Corker, aka Dirtwoman. A highlight of this year’s Richmond International Film Festival, the premiere will feature a Q&A after the film with guests and an afterparty at Gallery5. And if you’re wondering about the colorful title? When Donnie was a child, he suffered from spinal meningitis, but his mother couldn’t pronounce it. “Spider Mites of Jesus,” was used instead. Tickets can be purchased at rvafilmfestival.com.
