Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien No Regret

Through music, poetry and quiet, at times chilling self-disclosure, five sero-positive Black gay men speak of their individual confrontations with AIDS, illuminating the difficult journey Black men throughout America make in coping with the personal and social devastation of the epidemic.

From panic, resignation, and silence to the discovery of the redemptive healing power in being vocal and visible as HIV-positive Black gay men, each tells a singular and at the same time familiar story of self-transformation--a story in which a cone shameful, unmentionable "affliction" is forged into a tool of personal and communal empowerment.

This film is part of Anthem, Affirmations and Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien (No Regret), an anthology of works by pioneering filmmaker Marlon Riggs addressing issues of black gay male identity and confronting HIV/AIDS.
