2020-03-11
Join Joi, and host of Raising Rebels, Noleca Radway, as they review Cuties--Maimouna Doucouré's French-language film about a Senegalese tween growing up in one of Paris’ poorest neighborhoods. It discusses the complex socialization & hypersexualization of young black girls. We talk why it’s uncomfortable watching 11-year-olds twerk, how this movie could have ONLY been directed by a black woman, and the mesmerizing holy water scene. Out now on Netflix!
We also talk to actress & director Adepero Oduye, who was the breakout star of the 2011 Sundance film, Pariah. We spoke about how the festival has changed in 9 years, making lifelong friends on Main Street, and why Sundance is black film nerd HEAVEN.
