An intelligent and haunting depiction of sexual passion and the interplay
between desire and identification, John G. Young`s first feature is a festival
favorite that`s been three years waiting for a release. Set in a redneck,
upstate town, it`s about a white teenager who`s totally black-identified - does
his blond hair in dreads, plays hip-hop, makes the Autobiography of Malcolm X
his bible - although he`s never met a black person. His life takes a turn when
he falls in love with Knowledge, a young black man who`s been wounded escaping
from prison.
