Editorial Review:
The Souls of Black Girls is a provocative news documentary that takes a critical look at media images-how they are instituted, established and controlled. The documentary also examines the relationship between the historical and existing media images of women of color and raises the question of whether they may be suffering from a self-image disorder as a result of trying to attain the standards of beauty that are celebrated in media images.
This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
The Souls of Black Girls Reviews:
this wasn't at all what I expected 
2009-05-26 - I found this video to be to simplistic & devoid of content that would be beneficial to young black girls. Girls experience puberty at an earlier age now & this film skipped that as well as some other pertinent issues that should have been addressed. I wasted my money on this video in this tough econony only because I thought it would be beneficial for my niece.
The Souls of Black Girls 
2009-05-10 - This documentary deals with issues that exist because of stereotypical, racial profiling of young Black girls when they are at their most vulnerable, (Puberty).
The journey takes you from self esteem issues due to skin color, features and hair texture....all isms that come out of American whites defining Black Beauty. We watch young girls talk about self hate because of some stereotypes.....but this documentary puts the issues on the table and through conversation with famous Black women who had to deal with isms...these young girls come to realize that they are unique and Black Beauty must only be defined by Black people. This documentary is a wake-up call for all young girls who read fashion mags and watch TV. It helps you understand why weave wearing, light complexion, made up images are not necessarily beautiful. Kinky hair, dark skin, bold features...are all beautiful....love the you that you are.....
Very Good! Everybody should watch this...
2009-01-18 - I thought this documentary was informative and very thought provoking. If you have any contact with girls of any age you should watch this.
