ALP & NewFest Present - U People

When: 
Friday, June 13, 2008 - 6:00pm to 8:00pm

U People
Directed By: Hanifah Walidah, Olive Demetrius

One spring weekend, 30 women and transmen of color, gay and straight, gathered at a brownstone in Brooklyn to film a music video celebrating black women's lives - and as that music video was being made, another camera recorded footage of the cast and crew. But this is no simple behind the scenes video - instead, U People captures candid and thought-provoking discussions of race, gender, and sexuality spurred on by the music video's themes and by the intelligent, talented, and beautiful people who joined together to create it - people who are too often marginalized in front of and behind the camera. The result is an empowering and illuminating reminder of the power of community.
