This documentary is multi-layered and depicts in a very effective way the identity, struggle and pride of black gay activists. The repetition of the voice brother-to-brother becomes a cantilena, where the sounds of the different words confuse and overlaps, creating a new sound and melody. Sound and voice are fundamental in this piece, giving voice to those who are constantly silenced.
The narrative structure of this piece is very unconventional and I really liked the way the shots are designed and staged (especially in the ‘snap’ part at the beginning). I really liked the dynamics of the piece and the mix between the stories that he is telling and footages of demonstrations and of the civil rights movement.
