Special features: interview with the director; interview with spoken word/rap artist Juba Kalamka; outtakes from the film.
Marlon T. Riggs, Essex Hemphill, Ben Callet.
In an experimental amalgam of rap music, street poetry, documentary film, and dance, a gay African-American man expresses what it is like to be gay and black in the United States. Although he deals with social ostracism and fear of AIDS, he affirms the beauty and significance of the gay black man.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
