FATHER’S DAY & Q&A
A young Senegalese woman moves to France to work for a wealthy white couple where life becomes a figurative and literal prison. A complex, layered critique on the lingering colonialist mindset of a supposedly postcolonial world, Black Girl is a harrowing human drama as well as a radical political statement.
