Description
Love her or hate her, almost everyone has a Barbie story. Even if they don’t have a story, there’s a story as to why they don’t have a story. In this film, we tell the story behind the first Black Barbie, because yes, she has a story too. It started with the filmmaker’s 83-year old aunt, Beulah Mae Mitchell, and the seemingly simple question, “Why not make a Barbie that looks like me?”
This FREE showing is part of the Rome International Film Festival-Berry College Through a Different Lens documentary series. Thanks to South Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and The Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation for making these films available to students and the community.
