Black As U R (2022)
In the wake of Black Lives Matter, filmmaker Michael Rice addresses the trans/homophobia within the Black community by magnifying the stories of Black LGBTQ+ people and their contributions to the Black liberation movement.
The Yvonne Welbon documentary centers on centenarian Ruth C. Ellis, once widely recognized as the oldest surviving open lesbian. Ellis first came out in 1915, a whopping 54 years before the Stonewall Riots ignited the nationwide gay rights movement.
