Immediately following is the world television premiere of the groundbreaking documentary Dark Girls (10 p.m. – 12 a.m. ET/PT) from filmmakers Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry. The film explores the prejudices that dark-skinned women face throughout the world. Women share their personal stories, touching on deeply ingrained beliefs and attitudes of society, while allowing generations to heal as they learn to love themselves for who they are. From filmmakers Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry, Dark Girls made its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. The DVD will be released September 24, 2013.

Wow coincidence or what ? I just got the heads UP about the Dark Girls Documentary from a new friend I met at an out-of-state work conference..I’m going to watch this for sure! And also going to re-blog it so my readers can also. As always you keep me so well-informed of the GBN’s that DOES exist; but isn’t always widely publicized. So many times I hear of things like this by word of mouth..And don’t we know that can spread the word like wild fire!
