“Phenomenal! A very compulsive video conveying depictions of the sorrows and challenges of gay Black men. Gripping, never boring, many voices. Ends on a positive hopeful note. In my opinion, very accurate, that depression is multifaceted, also, that therapy helps.”

— Michael Myers, MD, Professor, SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

“Very real, genuine and authentic stories.”

— James McKnight, MD., Director of Psychiatry, Citicare, Inc.

“A must see documentary! Powerful and Timely!  A deeply moving journey into the real world of Depressed Black Gay Men - A story of Real Men with real feelings – sharing their experiences, strengths and hopes as they travel the road of healing and recovery from the darkness of their pain and depression - into the light!”

— T. Thaddaeus Brown, Ph.D., Director, ArchCare, NYC

“The film makes me believe that although a person who watches it may start out feeling hopeless, they will take away a new sense of being and feel hopeful.”

— Frankie McLaurin, MSW, Counselor, GMAD.

“I want the first DVD to show a friend so that he won’t kill himself.”

— a participant at a focus group held at ASC-NYC.

“I want to get a copy of the DVD to show my mother so she could understand me.”

“For the first time here is a film that gives Black gay men a voice to tell our own story. We’ve never had a voice, others try to speak for us, and the White gay community have their voice. In this film we have a voice.”

— a participant at a focus group held at ASC-NYC.

“WOW! This documentary reaches across many areas. It needs to be seen by everyone. It touched me in many ways, even making me cry. I could identify with many of the issues affecting Black gay men, and this film brings them to life.”

— a participant at a GMAD focus group.
