Dark Girls

"Dark Girls," a groundbreaking documentary film by Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry, sheds light on the deep-seated biases and attitudes surrounding skin color, particularly in the Black American community. The film explores how colorism affects dark-skinned women's lives, from internalized racism to self-esteem issues, and even dating preferences within African American culture. Through intimate interviews with notable figures like Viola Davis and a re-examination of the infamous 1940s black doll experiment, "Dark Girls" provides a thought-provoking examination of the lasting impact of colorism on women's lives.
