CGiii Comment
A cross between a documentary and a 'stagey' drama...yes, we know, it's called a docu-drama...but, this is somewhere in-between.
The documentary...straight to the camera stuff...works.
The 'drama' doesn't...dialogue and acting being the main culprits. And, to have the 'actors' comment of their characters...well, that was just plain silly...something to do with the fact that none of them could act.
It does raise some pertinent questions regarding the trans*stereotype and the skewed vision/version of the cis*gender nonsense...but, unfortunately, it doesn't even attempt to answer them.

The(ir) Blurb...
Cheryl Dunye's provocative Black is Blue is a look at a stealth security guard who has struggled to make his insides match his outside.
