Some folks believe what you don’t know won’t hurt you. But when it comes to creeping and living a secret life, director/actor Bill Duke challenges such wayward thinking. His controversial thriller, Cover, examines the “down-low” or “D.L” phenomenon and how it affects the Black community through the lives of one young Black family. When southern belle and commercial photographer Valerie Maas (Aunjanue Ellis) agrees to uproot her family and lucrative career by relocating from Atlanta to Philly to support her psychiatrist-hubby Dutch’s (Rad Adoti) new promotion, things fall apart as her growing suspicion of Dutch’s infidelity comes to light. However, it’s the magnitude of those lies and deceit that challenge the sanctity of her marriage, faith and hope, making her doubt everything she’s ever known to be true—including her husband’s devotion.Robert Townsend Gives Back to Chicago In Film
