In a previous post I took a look at a documentary by Bradinn French entitled Dark Girls – A Documentary Exploring the Biases and Attitudes about Skin Color  that dives into the deep-rooted issues regarding skin color and its perception among women of color .  I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the documentary because it will discuss an issue that some people feel does not exist.  This is not just an issue among African-Americans, the issue of skin color crosses over many cultures, but I think its intriguing to attempt to understand why and how negative connotations spread and imprint themselves on future generations.

The film makers D. Channsin Berry and Bill Duke seek to discover if life is truly different for darker skinned women and how.
