Love it however

I love the film... I'm just really over gay films that always have to drag AIDS/HIV in it... like it is the way of a life of a homosexual. And it must of been hard back then.. this films give people hope. Hope that we may overcome all the racists shadow that over shadow us and the way American people have condemned itself not to become nothing more but followers of others thoughts

Very intense poetic doc about gays, focus on black men

If you like Paris is Burning, you'll enjoy this movie.

If you don't like poetry, (as I certainly don't), please go into this loving Paris is Burning, and respect the efforts of historical, underground, artistic gay documentation.

I skipped the first 5-10 minutes because the chanting/rhythmic hymns got disorienting and annoying. There's another musical segment near the 0.75 mark of the movie that was skipped over.

Regardless, this film was VERY special to watch at first viewing. Humorous, descriptive, thoughtful wordplay and poetry, really, really exceptional, beautiful prose.

Willi Ninja dances in this movie too!!
