Tongues Untied: Trailer

Preview: Season 4 Episode 5 | 29s

Examining what it means to be black and gay.

"Marlon Riggs's Tongues Untied rises above the 'deeply personal' — far above it — in exploring what it means to be black and gay. Angry, funny, erotic and poetic by turns ( and sometimes all at once), it jumps from interview to confession, music video to documentary to poem." — Craig Seligman, San Francisco Examiner
