This Sundance-winning classic follows young black gay artist Perry (Anthony Mackie, The Hurt Locker) who is promptly thrown out of his house after being discovered in an intimate sexual encounter with another young man. A chance encounter with a famous poet introduces Perry to a historical journey into the gay and lesbian subcultures of the Harlem Renaissance and 'Niggeratti Manor', the creative centre for rebellious black artists Zora Neale Hurston (Aunjanue Ellis, Ray) and Langston Hughes (Daniel Sunjata, TV's Rescue Me). As Perry learns more about the past struggles experienced by those of a different colour and sexuality, he comes to respect what makes him different, and embrace a history that is rarely told.
