Synopsis
In this short-form documentary, queer artist-filmmaker Shikeith Cathey tackles intersectional identity, asking a group of gay and straight interviewees "When did you become a black man?" Facing away from the camera, and often shirtless, the video's nine subjects are filmed in black and white as they contend with their self-conceptions of masculinity, sexuality, and race.
