CGiii Comment
On May 25, 2020 George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin igniting protests across the city, the nation, and around the globe. As Black Americans were chanting "Black Lives Matter" in Minneapolis, Iyanna Dior, a young trans teenager, was brutally attacked by a mob of Black men and women only a few blocks away. Documentarian Micheal Rice takes the audience on a journey through the homophobia that characterizes many Black spaces, both contemporarily and through an autobiographical look into his own upbringing in the south.
BLACK AS U R confronts the African American community about queerphobia by amplifying the stories of queer Black people.
