An intimate look into the lives of African-American lesbians who self-identify as ‘Aggressives’. They train their bodies, minds and souls to come across as ‘aggressive’ males. However, they do not want to be seen as men. Neither are they cross dressers or drags. It seems a new strong group is weaving itself into the canvas of sexual identities and gender bending. Daniel Peddle is casting director, writer of children books and director. He studied Film and Anthropology. When he was growing up as a white man in New York, he won the faith of the black community, which helped him create his film The Aggressives (featuring sturdy, black lesbians).
