U People takes the audience behind the screen of the strange video shoot in Brooklyn of ‘Make a Move’. The extra camera that records the discussions of 30 colorful lesbian, heterosexual and transsexual women develops documentary significance. What the lens captures is a strong, confident and human voice in the discussion about gay and hetero relationships and diversity in Afro American circles. A documentary full of humor, tenderness and excitement
