Afro. #Afromation

ABOUT THE SHORT FILM
After multiple encounters with a popular bully and a little academic inspiration, an African-American teen finally stands up for herself against classmates that question her cultural identity.
WHY #AFROMATION?
For most people, the image of an Afro symbolizes a political statement in all historical and social contexts. As people of various cultures walk this earth, we have interactions that hurt us, change us, heal us, and test our strongest preconceived notions of each other. This short challenges monolithic ideas of identity from a multicultural lens while weaving in the stories of diverse characters. An #Afromation is the state of mind when a young person knows exactly who they are and who they want to be.
Watch the Film. Have an #Afromation.
