The website says that author/director, Terence Nance, "explores the fantasies, emotions, and memories that race through his mind during a singular moment in time. I say that this film demonstrates the way many black women with natural hair wish that they were accepted and depicted in film. We just don't see ourselves in film enough. Oh yeah - "we" are black women with natural hair.
I'm not hating on women with loose kinks and curls, but a large number (what to me seems to be the majority) of black women in media with natural hair have loose curls - not tight kinks. For many reasons, this trailer was refreshingly unique, and heart-warming. Watch the trailer below then visit the website to find out more about the film.
