Don't miss Riggs' landmark and controversial film!
"A black male warrior fighting for the right to love other black men, Marlon Riggs affirms what was nearly lost, newly found: the certainty that black male lives are utterly precious." - Alice Walker
In celebration of the 20 year anniversary and Frameline DVD release of a landmark film in the history of LGBT cinema, Reel Affirmations, the National Black Justice Coalition and Black Pride present a screening of Tongues Untied.
Marlon Riggs's portrayal of homophobia and racism caused controversy during Tongues Untied's original 1991 airing on PBS's P.O.V. series and contributed to the national debate about the National Endowment for the Arts funding for art with nudity, gay themes, and pointed political commentary.
At the time of its release the film was considered controversial because of its frank portrayal of gay sexuality. Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cited Tongues Untied as an example of using taxpayer's money to fund "pornographic art".
