FILM: "Bi-Racial Hair"

Beige World recently came across this fascinating short film by Lisa Russell, Bi-Racial Hair, in which a 13-year-old girl, Zora, recites a poem entitled "Bi-Racial Hair," which details her struggles with racial identity as a biracial child:   

The footage of Zora's recitation of "Bi-Racial Hair" was from her live performance at 2006 Urban Word NYC Teen Poetry Slam.

The film originally aired on the PBS series Independent Lens in February, 2009, for Black History Month, and received a Boston/New England Emmy Award for Outstanding Advanced Media Interactivity.
