Synopsis

Based on James Earl Hardy's best-selling 1994 book, "B-Boy Blues" follows the tumultuous relationship between Mitchell Crawford (Timothy Richardson), a 27-year old journalist, and Raheim Rivers (Thomas Mackie), a 21-year old bicycle messenger and B-boy (banjee boy). They meet in a gay bar in Greenwich Village in the summer of 1993. The B-boy hangs out on street corners, cool and menacing. Raheim is the third B-boy in Mitchell's life, but underneath the former's tough exterior, Raheim is smart and talented and a loving parent to his five-year-old son. But Raheim has a violent streak. B-Boy Blues spawned a series that has sold millions worldwide and remains a staple within the black LGBTQ+/Same Gender Loving community.
