Set in 1986, this riveting drama centers on Jeremih, a Deaf Black painter who must navigate a tense racially charged confrontation with police on the very night his art is being celebrated. Filmmaker Chantay Taylor’s storytelling aims to rewrite the narrative of how Black men are seen in history (and on-screen) and illustrate that there is more than what meets the eye when it comes to a diverse community and their art.
