My Nappy
ROOTS showcases the changes that have influenced the cultural images,
aesthetics and behavior of Black Americans.
Filmmakers Regina Kimbell and Jay Bluemke assembles a world-class
line-up of celebrities (Vivica A. Fox,
Patti LaBelle, Ella Joyce and Malcolm-Jamal Warner to name a
few). Historians, authors, journalists, comedians, stylists and
barbers, industry business icons like George Johnson, Johnson Products,
Ed Gardner, Soft Sheen Products, Bernard Bronner of the Bronner
Brothers International hair show and others provide historical,
professional, and personal accounts on their Black hair journey.
The Black hair industry, which is always passionate, sometimes
outrageous, and often humorous is considered the liberation of Blacks
in the United States. This liberation is not only captured
on film but experienced from beginning to end with My Nappy
ROOTS: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage. |
