(Hanifah Walidah, and Olive Demetrius, USA, 2008, DV, 77 min) Winner of the Jury Award at the IMAGE+NATION LGBT Film Festival in Canada, U People is an accidental documentary that brings you behind the scenes of an atypical music video shoot. Featuring an entire cast and crew of 30 gay and straight women, and transsexual people of color, the images the camera caught introduce a hilarious, candid and very human voice into the discussion of gender, race and sexuality within the black community.

"Hanifah Walidah speaks about black people and the gay community with a passion we associate with Zora Neale Hurston and Amira Baraka." Ntozake Shange, author of For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Isn't Enough
