"Heartbreaking. I love Jason and am so glad I got to witness some of his existence, and HATE the people filming him. Shirley Clarke ruined his life a little bit and he was shut out from many of his aspirations after the film released. It’s a rough watch, and Jason is by far the best thing in it. #queer #lgbt #black_history #tearjerker"
