LE MYTHE DE LA FEMME NOIRE by Ayana O'Shun

 

Canada (Quebec). 2022. 94 min. Documentary. (G)

 

This documentary investigates the image of black women in society, from the hypersexual Jezebel to the lovable Nanny to the insolent "Bitch". Black women, acclaimed leaders in their fields, recount the challenges that these representations of them bring to their lives. Their compelling stories are supported by fascinating archive footage from centuries past to the present day. 


"Relevant, dynamic and daring, this film gives a voice without compromise. (Jury for the Magnus-Isaacson Prize, Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal)
