\u2018Making Sweet Tea\u2019 is the gay<\/a> documentary the world needs right now<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Making Sweet Tea<\/em> is a new documentary by artist E. Patrick Johnson\u00a0and several other gay<\/a> Black men<\/a> from the American South.<\/p>\n

The film is based off of Johnson\u2019s phenomenal book S<\/em><\/a>weet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South\u2014An Oral History<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>which highlights over sixty unique life stories from gay<\/a> Black men<\/a> born and raised below the Mason-Dixon line.<\/p>\n

After publishing the book ten years ago, Johnson turned it into a stage play. Now, he\u2019s teamed up with anthropologist and filmmaker John L. Jackson, Jr. to make it into a powerful feature-length documentary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The film follows Johnson as he travels home to North Carolina to confront his past, as well as to Georgia, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. to reconnect with six of the men<\/a> he interviewed for his book.<\/p>\n

Making Sweet Tea<\/em> made its world premiere last month at the 37th Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival. Next, it will screen\u00a0this weekend\u00a0<\/em>at the 32nd annual Out on Film Festival in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
