What happens

Je suis noire, je suis belle est un film français réalisé par Sabrina Onana, sorti en 2023. Ce long métrage documentaire offre un regard intime et sociologique sur l'expérience des femmes afro-françaises, explorant des thématiques comme le rapport aux cheveux, les standards de beauté, le regard des hommes et la représentation médiatique des femmes noires. À travers les témoignages de douze protagonistes, le documentaire ouvre un dialogue constructif sur des problématiques touchant à la fois les sociétés africaines, caribéennes et occidentales.
