This month?s feature film is Chocolate Babies. Told with rule breaking panache, Chocolate Babies is the story of a gang of raging outcast HIV-positive, African American and Asian American drag queens, women and queers who band together to terrorize conservative politicians who are blocking legislation which will free up finances to expand HIV/AIDS research and health care. The gang's alliance is threatened by its youngest member who while working undercover finds himself seduced by the closeted homosexual politician who is leading the fight against them.
