Pride Movie Night: Screening of "Blackbird"

Seventeen-year-old Randy (Terrell Tilford) tries very hard to be a good person. Since his father (Isaiah Washington) left, Randy takes care of his emotionally disturbed mother (Mo'Nique), and he's the kind of friend all of his classmates can depend on. As strong as he seems on the outside, Randy is hiding a secret inner struggle and denial of his true self. It's not until he opens himself up to love that he discovers that becoming a man means accepting who you really are.

Leital Molad, Senior Producer for WNYC's Studio 360 with Kurt Anderson joins us for a special Q&A with writer-director Patrik Ian Polk following the screening.
