The new ALLBLK documentary tackles the tragic deaths of Gemmel Moore and Timothy Dean, who died at the hands of the wealthy white gay Democratic donor.
Buck was convicted on nine felony charges in 2021 for injecting young gay men with methamphetamine in exchange for sex. For years he preyed on vulnerable Black men and evaded prosecution because of his wealth and his race. The film asks why a predator was allowed to do this time and time again.
Sahar and Baron sat down with HuffPost to talk about the importance of thinking beyond Ed Buck, the importance of airing their documentary on Black media and what everyone can do to become a better ally to Black LGBTQ people. Initially, we pitched it to a production company, and the room was only white people. One of the producers said, “This is such a sexy story,” like Ted Bundy or a true crime doc. Even worse, they wanted us to focus more on Buck and what made him this way. They wanted to center this criminal and sensationalize this story instead of focusing on the overall themes that lead the victims to Ed Buck.
I believe that when you decide to live out loud as a gay-identified or trans person, as a lesbian, or as bisexual, pansexual or gender nonconforming, you are living out the truth. What we are talking about in ”Beyond Ed Buck” is nothing but the truth in the same respect. When I decided to transition socially and medically, I decided to be real with myself and be authentic.
