Description

Black Market is a short documentary chronicling the uncertainty of selling weed as a Black drug vendor with a history of being arrested for marijuana in post-legalization New York. The film follows a Black queer drug vendor in Washington Square Park, surrounded by a community of vendors who operate in a gray legal zone -- weed's legal, but what about those who sell it? The film reckons with the trauma resulting from the criminalization of marijuana, as vendors of color look to a more lucrative future -- that is, if they're let in on it.
