THE BLACK GIRL PROJECT

The Black Girl Project is a documentary film which asks pretty much one question: who are you? Of course that question morphed into other, follow-up questions, but that singular question lies at the heart of the film.

In a culture where Black women and girls are either venerated for their saintly accomplishments which strips them of any other character attribute except that of martyr/mammy, or demonized and used as the fall gal to explain away all that is wrong with the Black community and society-at-large, it is important to hear and see Black girls speak their truths.

Traditional media continues to have a problem with realistic, multi-faceted portrayals of Black women and girls, and for that matter, all females of color. It is our hope that the film adds to the discussions about Black women and girls across the country and that it will contribute to a paradigm shift in how they are seen by others and how they see themselves.

In Pre-Production

All In The Family is a feature-length documentary film about lesbian families of color, which means that the “head of household” must identify herself as a lesbian and there must be at least one child currently living in the home.

Included in the film are interviews with child and parenting experts, as well as, candid conversations with these families about the every day — their experiences (good, bad and otherwise) while carving out their day-to-day lives.
