Kuma Recommends… black./womyn: conversations with lesbians of African descent
About the Film:
Here’s a review of black./womyn: conversations…that I wrote for a movie ticket site-
Most mainstream ideas of who black lesbians are and what they are like come from images/media NOT created by black lesbians themselves. That’s why black./womyn: conversations… is such a breath of fresh air. The documentary contains interviews with a wide variety of black lesbians who discuss a multitude of topics.
I would say that the overarching theme of the movie is: How do you exist/survive in a world where everything that you are (black, female, lesbian) is NOT valued–if not downright despised?
Though people are frank and honest, it’s not a depressing film at all and has quite a bit of humor.
About the DVD:
Time and care went into the designing of this package–it looks like a special, deluxe edition. Watch it unfold (literally) here: ‘black./womyn.’ Individual Edition DVD First Look
Another great feature is a bonus “making of” interview with Executive producer / Director Tiona McClodden.
The Verdict:
Tiona McClodden made a high quality film–and then went a step beyond to transform it into an absolutely beautiful, must have DVD. Buy it.
