Home > African American/Black Studies >   Tongues Untied Marlon T. Riggs  1989  55 min.  USA Price $250.00 Description Reviews / Awards Clips / Trailers   This is the acclaimed account of Black gay life by Emmy Award-winning director Marlon T. Riggs. Using poetry, personal testimony, rap and performance (featuring poet Essex Hemphill and others), Tongues Untied describes the homophobia and racism that confront Black gay men. The stories are fierce examples of homophobia and racism: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a gay-bashing; the loneliness and isolation of the drag queen.  Yet they also affirm the black gay male experience: protest marches, smoky bars, "snap diva", humorous "musicology" and Vogue dancers. "My struggle has allowed me to transcend that sense of shame and stigma identified with my being a black gay man. Having come through that fire, they can't touch me." - Marlon T. Riggs With Special Features:     -Interview with the Director     -Interviews with Isaac Julien, Phill Wilson, Herman Gray, and Juba Kalamka     -Outtakes from the film Produced, Directed and Edited by Marlon T.
