Here's your chance to see Cheryl Dunye’s “The Watermelon Woman,” the first feature film directed by an-out lesbian Black woman. This ingenious indie film-within-a film offers a breezy romantic comedy around interracial lesbian love while sharply critiquing Hollywood representations of Black and Queer women.
