You Are Not Alone - The Documentary | Raising Awareness, Changing and Saving Lives
http://www.youtube.com/
As a documentary, "You Are Not Alone" is a little more than a run-of-the-mill film. While containing the basic elements of its genre -- interviews with subjects telling their stories and mental health professionals placing these experiences and anecdotes in perspective, and at the same time presenting relevant statistics to support their respective positions; it nudges the envelope... of understanding and acceptance a little further along. Using his creativity, skill and expertise, Stanley Bennett Clay listened to the interviews, wrote a script and directed re-enactments of the stories he heard. He moved the film from being a staid production of "talking heads" into, as he says, "some Hollywood thrown in". While the film maintains the hard hitting edge of a documentary, it gently blurs the line between what is and what could be, moving into the realm of a docu-drama, and illuminating through examples, many of the underlying issues Black gay men are dealing with, but never talked about. This film breaks a taboo in the Black community; it exposes the raw truths behind the silent pain many Black gay men experience and live with.
