Black - once Blue - is now a trans man who works as a security guard in an apartment complex in Oakland. One night, Black notices an ex- girlfriend partying with some other women in one of the buildings. As none of the other security guards want to watch ‘the lezzie party’, Black volunteers to, thinking he may resolve some inner conflicts from the past. However, things take a turn for the worse.

Director Cheryl Dunye's BLACK IS BLUE is a powerful look at stealth trans man security guard who is forced to resolve some unanticipated inner conflicts from the past.
