This video got banned from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, in a current exhibit on gender identity. It’s about how a man dies of AIDs, specifically Wojnarowic’s lover back in 1986/87.

Here’s a scathing review on the Pittsburgh Gazette.

Find the full version below the cut. But personally, I like this version with Diamanda Galas’ track on it. If you’re unfamiliar with her, she’s the terror in operatic vocal horror. I use to listen to two 16mins+ tracks of hers that drove me absolutely insane.

A Day In The Death of Donny B.

| April 15th, 2010


Cinéma vérité style. 1969

Mostly considered an anti-drug film, it was made for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The film follows its protagonist, Donny B, a young black man who appears to be a heroin addict, as he makes his way through the cruel ghettos of New York City… Through the run time of 14 minutes, a blues-like tune plays over the footage and voice-overs, with vocals that come in and out during the film, narrating Donny B as he does wrong.

It was my first time to see Health live and I was shocked at how amazing the show was… I loved how they got on stage saying “Hi we’re Health from Los Angeles, California” and 1 second later they started to play. It was like getting a kick in your face.
