REEL SOUTH

Madame Pipi

Season 7 Episode 5 | 26m 16s | WETA Passport

Madame Pipi follows the lives of Haitian bathroom attendants working in Miami’s hottest nightclubs. Often invisible, underpaid, and underappreciated, their stories showcase a custodial world built on the backs of women of color, in a city known for debauchery, diversity, and exceptionalism.
