Film Overview
A sobering trip into 1990 is provided by Marlon Riggs' TONGUES UNTIED, an unprecedented exploration of Black Gay Life, which confronts the silence of the unacknowledged and the tongue-tied. The derogatory accusations, judgements, and jokes that abound in our culture, the homophobia and racism that attempt to split black gay men into opposing loyalties, are met head-on in this timely and impassioned work, through poetry, personal testimony, rap and drama.
