Review
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. 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 Tiona McClodden made a high quality film–and then went a step beyond to transform it into an absolutely beautiful, must have DVD.
