A documentary and performance piece about the experiences of black homosexual men living in the United States of America. The film blends documentary footage with personal account and poetry in an attempt to depict the specificity of Black gay identity. The “silence” referred to throughout the film is that of Black gay men, who are unable to express themselves because of the prejudices of white and Black heterosexual society, as well as the white gay society.
Introduced by Jeremy O. Harris 6/6.
