About The Same Difference
Director Nneka Onuorah interrogates internalised gender roles and the ways that queerness within the African American lesbian and bisexual community is self-policed.
Look out for stars like Felicia “Snoop” Pearson from HBO drama The Wire, and Lea DeLaria from Orange Is the New Black, who speak candidly about their identities in their daily lives. This sharp and nuanced documentary sheds light on a taboo topic in the community.
Part of I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way - a season of rarely screened documentaries from the LGBTQ+ archives which have been chosen by associate programmer Elaine Lillian Joseph.
