Tongues Untied
(1989)
Tongues Untied is a semi-documentary, blending real-life accounts and interviews with fictional depictions of black gay men, directed by black, queer poet Marlon Riggs. Riggs said he wanted the film to "shatter the nation's brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference." The movie not only mixes genres, but formats; poetry, song and dance are all a part of the storytelling process.
