About the Film
(Marlon Riggs, United States, 1995, 87 min, in English)
The final film by filmmaker Marlon Riggs, Black Is…Black Ain’t, jumps into the middle of explosive debates over Black identity. Black Is…Black Ain’t is a film every African American should see, ponder and discuss.
White Americans have always stereotyped African Americans. But the rigid definitions of “Blackness” that African Americans impose on each other, Riggs claims, have also been devastating. Is there an essential Black identity? Is there a litmus test defining the real Black man and true Black woman?
