1997 film

A nice supper with eight vociferous BDSM workers who tell disconcertingly joyful stories from their professional lives while being served by a silent, bare-assed man. When the subject turns towards murder and genocide, darkness threatens. But the mistresses of severity and grace shall save the day.

The love story of a couple caught up in the gentrification of a neighborhood that is wiping out a seminal African-American cultural legacy and displacing its original residents. In 2008 Norwegian artist and filmmaker Lene Berg moved in with her partner, a Black New York publisher, who will be referred to as D. After giving a statement to the police about being harassed by his neighbor in Harlem, D. was arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned. But for what exactly? His arrest initiated a journey over the course of which D.’s faith in the American justice system put everything he cherished in life at risk.
