Queen Mimi

I happened to come across this documentary on Netflix a couple of hours ago & I am so very happy that I did! I enjoyed every second of the documentary & strongly recommend it to others, I hated to see it end! Considering I live completely across the United States from Mimi, I know I will never have the opportunity to meet this very special Lady in person, but I certainly would love to! I am grateful that I did get to see this documentary & learn of this incredible Woman's amazing journey!!! Although I'm quite sure there are things in her past that she is leaving in the past, probably to protect others from hurt & pain. I love her attitude, the past is over, it's gone, leave it there! I am grateful that she has been reunited with her daughter after so many years & has had the opportunity to meet her grandchildren. May God continue to Bless you Mimi as you enrich so many lives!

Wasn't sure.. but watched her movie and I just love her! I'm even friends with her on Facebook.. she is truly a wonderful person who lives one day at a time. If we all could be 1/10 of the person she is, oh what a wonderful world it would be! I also appreciate all who have been there for her Zach and the man who owned the laundry mat and any one else who took the time to find out how really wonderful she is...loved the movie ( Very Well Done!). I'd give it a 10 star if I could? Thanks to Mimi for letting us get to know here and for all that helped make a really good story!

This documentary shows the life of a woman who had been homeless for over thirty years.

Mimi's life is truly remarkable, because she remains happy and cheerful despite the most unfortunate circumstances. As an interviewee says, most people wouldn't even last five minutes in her situation. Her resilience is truly remarkable. It is a lesson and a wake up call to people who has everything except happiness.

The love she gets from people around her is really touching as well. It shows that the world is still got love and care. As Zach says, people should post more attention and care to the elderly and the underprivileged.

It is a pity that Renee doesn't appear in the documentary to talk about Mimi. The documentary would have been complete with Renee in it.

A moving documentary about the secret life of a local homeless woman, filmed with humanity and genuine curiosity. Rokah shows us that everybody has a story and is much more than who they appear to be. That is the lasting lesson from this film. To pay attention to the humanity of those around us because you never know. Of course Mimi herself is such an inspiration, what a feisty lady! The heart of this film is really golden and memorable. Especially in America, where homelessness is a huge problem, and so many of us step right over or past a homeless person but in Queen Mimi, Rokah patiently and over a long period of time, by interviewing those all around Mimi and Mimi herself, teases out the life of this woman with a goal of revealing the life behind this feisty local homeless woman to show us a woman who has transcended some real hardship. We need more films by Rokah.

I watched this documentary on Netflix a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. She is such a character with an amazing personality. I found myself completely enthralled in her story and was so happy that I had chosen to watch it. I would definitely recommend this documentary to anyone. :)
