Beyond Ed Buck (2022) Synopsis

From Jayce Baron and Hailie Sahar (Pose), Beyond Ed Buck follows the tragic murders that took place at the hands of Democratic political donor, Edward Buck.

These encounters often result in fatal endings for many innocent people who just so happen to live under the umbrella of being queer and Black in America. Filled with real-life survivors, community leaders, and families who give heartfelt testimonials, Beyond Ed Buck is a call-to-action work of art meant to inspire change in the world surrounding us so that one day the value of all human life will be acknowledged as one race of people.
