About The Film
When a reformed drummer cannot get his caffeine fix on the anniversary of his brother's death, ancestral rhythms guide him to the truth buried deep below his city streets. "Black" faces every obstacle on this fateful day in his attempts for a strong, black cup, much like we all have. However, similar to how coffee's true origins are Ethiopian, Black Man has no idea that his journey for coffee is bringing him closer and closer to his African ancestry, a homeland where his forefathers are indigenous
Featured Review
I am so glad that I found Ying & Yang. The poetry alone is worth a listen, and the visuals that go along with the words are equal parts entrancing and delightful. Of course, the film’s subject matter is no walk in the park; black masculinity and flex sexuality can be a dizzying maze, but the director handles these truths with grace and ease. We are given a window into the messed up mind of a man deciding his own fate. The result is empowering and heartbreaking, and I wanted to see more.
