In a new short film called Nobody Knows, dancer Lil Buck explores her Negro identity through the power of dance. It was directed by David Jsvier and produced in collaboration with Red Bull Dance.

Buck’s figures of religious upbringing are great in the story; scored by Pastor T.L. Barret’s gospel song “Nobody Knows” and accompanied by a choir, the film follows Buck as he dances through the aisle, pews and halls of a church.

“As a Black man, I am trying to find solace with the struggles and church being the last resort for seeking peace. You see me progress as I battle with that struggle, but as the music builds I dance through it, to be reborn and full of joy,” he explains in a statement. “Through the release of my brothers and sisters protesting and my dancing, I am transformed and freed from all my sadness. The choir represent my thought process and my internal strength supporting me to break through towards celebration.”
