Transition

I recently discovered this op-doc by Zina Saro Wiwa. Granted it was released in 2012 but it's still a beautiful piece on women transitioning to "natural" hair, their process and experiences. In particular it starts off with Saro Wiwa's own examination of her apprehension and feelings around cutting her hair and the reasons she decided to remain with "natural" hair.

Moreover it examines hair from the political, of which, due to to it being gendered, sexualised and racialised, must of course be political. What is interesting however is how an individualised action has become a political and social movement
