In this compelling film from Director Daryl Bright, three black women recite a poem about the sexual harassment their community faces. The women are standing above a city landscape, representing their defiance to sexual objectification. I really liked how the women were portrayed because it showed that they continue to resist harassment.
While the three women recite the poem, another black woman is shown dancing through the streets of the city. The woman dancing represents the struggle that African American women face to find their place in the larger community. The animated drawings around the dancer are a great addition to the film, emphasizing her movements.
This film is a unique artistic way of illustrating the unfortunate topic of sexual objectification. The women were genuine, speaking on their personal experiences as black women. I highly recommend this film to people of any gender or race.
I rate this film 4 out of 5 stars.
