Time, trouble, money and pain. That’s part of what African-American women invest in their hair. The issues raised in Good Hair, a serious new film from comedian Chris Rock, explores issues of relevance to the girls and young women in your group.
Rock was inspired to do the film when his young daughter asked him, “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?”
One reviewer said: though Good Hair embraces the pain, digging gingerly into wounds both political and personal, the film feels more like a celebration than a lament. Spirited, probing and frequently hilarious, it coasts on the fearless charm of its front man and the eye-opening candor of its interviewees, most of them women.
