Inviting all for a screening of a film 'Dark Girl' on this International Women's Day. This film is by Bill Dukes and Channsin Berry.
In the 21st Century women with dark complexion often find themselves looked down upon by their peers, considered less attractive, less intelligent and less refined than women with a lighter skin tone. A variety of African-American women discuss this phenomenon, sharing their thoughts on the social and cultural implications of this subtle but common form of prejudice, in the documentary Dark Girls. Directors Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry feature interviews with women sharing their own experiences as dark skinned African-Americans, children who reveal how young these beliefs are implanted in girls, and men who share their feelings about women and skin color. The documentary is 72 minutes long.
The screening will be followed by a discussion.
Entry - Free.
