BLACK AS U R points its lens at Black America, asking: ‘Why do we protest racial injustice, but disregard the injustices experienced by black queer people? After all, we are just as black as you are.’
In this highly incendiary documentary, filmmaker Michael Rice interweaves contemporary racial politics with an autobiographical look into his own upbringing in the American south. In doing so, he poignantly unearths the queerphobia prevalent in many black communities.
The inaugural recipient of Frameline Festival’s Out in the Silence Award, BLACK AS U R is a must-see film dedicated to LGBTQ+ visibility in spaces so politically charged that queer representation has been disregarded.
