B.D. Women

Documentary Short | July 22, 2007 @ 4:00 PM
Director: Inge Blackman

B.D. Women is a wonderful celebration of the history and culture of Black lesbians. Lively interviews feature Black women talking candidly about their sexual and racial identities. These contemporary views are cleverly interwoven with a dramatized love story, set in the 1920s, in which a sultry romance develops between a gorgeous jazz singer and her stylish butch lover. The film rewrites the vanished history of Black lesbians’ lives in an eloquent and entertaining way.
