The Watermelon Woman

The Watermelon Woman In-Person

A landmark of New Queer Cinema, The Watermelon Woman is historic, hilarious, smart and sexy all at once. This wry, incisive debut feature by Cheryl Dunye testifies to the power of excavating legacies of oppression and in the process created a progressive legacy of its own: a vibrant representation of Black lesbian identity by a Black lesbian filmmaker. Staring Cheryl Dunye, Guinevere Turner, Valarie Walker.
