Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn January 29, 2019, American actor Jussie Smollett approached the Chicago Police Department and reported a hate crime that he had staged earlier that morning. He planned the hate crime with two Nigerian brothers, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, who had worked as extras on the set of television drama Empire, in which Smollett was a cast member. During the staged attack, which took place on East Lower North Water Street in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, the disguised brothers shouted racial and homophobic slurs while one poured bleach on Smollett and the other placed a noose around his neck. In addition to falsely reporting that he had been attacked by two unknown individuals, Smollett described one of them as a white male. He also told police the men shouted "This is MAGA country" during the attack, a reference to the Trumpist political slogan "Make America Great Again". The brothers later testified that Smollett staged the attack near a surveillance camera so that video of it could be publicized.

Very Pleased
I have been waiting for the day when this novel would actually become a movie and here we are. It captured pretty much everything from the novel but brought it to present day. I found myself watching it at least 3 times so far. It was refreshing to see another aspect of the SGLBTQ+ communities instead of the standard stereotypical portrayal. I recognized a couple of the actors from TV and web series. My hope is that if this is hit that Jussie and Mr. Hardey will direct and produce another movie from the B-Boy Series. All I can say is thank you.
