Through interviews with the men in NYC, Chicago, Las Vegas, and LA, the film examines their unique experiences including their encounters with racism (being cast in servant roles or as thugs; also, facing white performers who refuse to perform with them because of the color of their skin), stereotypes (black talent are expected to have large penises and they\u2019re made to bottom when they do not) and inequality (though \u201cBBC films\u201d\u00a0is one of the most searched terms in porn, black actors report making less money than their white counterparts).\u00a0 In addition to their time behind the camera,\u00a0Being Black in Porn\u00a0delves into the personal lives of the men, exploring the impact their careers have on their real worlds, on social media and in the global Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n
