My Body, My Hair
"My Body, My Hair," a documentary filmed in London, enters the world of women and body hair. The theme is reflected upon through the eyes of six women who chose to maintain their body hair, despite different societal pressures that exist to remove it or to act like it doesn't exist. Why is keeping body hair as a woman considered oftentimes a taboo in today's culture? A fascinating look at this both personal and public issue, this film was made during a Visual Anthropology Masters at Goldsmiths College, Unversity of London.
