What Dark Girls Is About
The documentary lets black women describe in their own words the discrimination built on the darkness of skin. The women speak about what they were told as children, the comparisons made at home with a lighter skinned sibling, the attitudes they met at school and at work, and how skin lightening products became a habit. What the film insists on is that this discrimination comes not only from outside but from within the community itself. Between the interviews come psychologists and historians tracing the matter back to the time of slavery. The seventy one minute American documentary by D. Channsin Berry and Bill Duke was completed in 2011 and set off a wide argument when it appeared.
