I remember seeing this film on the PBS documentary series POV back in 1990 or 91' when I was in my mid teens.I also remember the controversy that followed it.Great and powerful film.One of my favorites ever.
@namasteywhat even if there is a prevalence in western society for homosexuals to contract it does not mean that it is a homosexual disease. You can contract it just as easily through heterosexual intercourse. Also drug users are at higher risk than any other group of people as HIV can easily be contracted through re-used needles.
this retarded fucks are not women, they're crazy men with dicks between their legs,
some crazy people see them selfs, as a super heroes, some as a flaying birds, and some men who are "mental" see them self's as women playing with their mama shoes and dresses, i call trauma from child abuse, not getting attention as a child, low self esteem, psychologically confuse .. but above all we are all humans, in this man made shit thats fucking peoples heads all up...
@mack3dg Retarded fucks? And then you come with the child abuse. *sigh*
The gender play that these people get into is just a play, but then so are the gender roles for us all. When you step out of the role that you were put into and choose another for yourself, for the moment or for life, why must this be crazy or mental, a result of abuse? The only abuse I see here is coming from you.
Aw, man! I had thought my snap was adequately fierce for a white suburbanite, but seeing the masters at work really makes it clear how out of their league I am... I need practice!
tho i thumbed this up, lol you cant catch a dude snapping like this. he may be question. no pone intended for the fella's who do snap like this. lol very funny
This scene was from a documentary by Marlon Riggs called "Tongues Untied" (1989). Riggs was a poet, filmmaker, teacher, and activist and his film work was made at the height of the AIDS crisis in the US. It explored homosexuality, racism, and identity in the black community in that era. It was mostly serious but he obviously had a great sense of humor too. This clip is funny but "Tongues Untied" was also really groundbreaking in it's day. It's out on DVD. Riggs passed away in 1994.
Good point. But considering the disease itself does not discriminate gender among infection, I still think its wrong to associate AIDS with homosexual today.

Blocked??? Do you even know what blocked means? when you block someone on youtube, it only blocks them from sending you personal messages, not replying to your comments. YOU FAIL.
And back to your comment. What the FUCK are you talking about? Who ever said i was having sex you fool? Geez you either need to learn how to talk properly or get that giant black cock out of your mouth so you can think clearly.
There will be haters, but its only because you guys can't snap like a diva. *flipshairwithnosehigh*

Well of course its not JUST a homosexual disease, but according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) -
