The new film from Patrik-Ian Polk is Blackbird, and it is the first film that Oscar-winner Mo'Nique has starred in since winning the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for Precious. Blackbird is based on a book by openly gay, African-American author Larry Duplechan that is considered a classic of Black gay fiction.
