Hair Piece: A Film for Nappyheaded People

Directed by Ayoka Chenzira
1984    10m
6.8
An animated satire on the question of self image for African American women living in a society where beautiful hair is viewed as hair that blows in the wind and lets you be free. Lively tunes and witty narration accompany a quick-paced inventory of relaxers, gels and curlers. This short film has become essential for discussions of racism, African American cinema and empowerment.
