Family Affair
2019, 6 minutes
Family Affair is a poetic documentary that explores the private story of three generations of women and their experience with colourism.
The film follows the story of the Evering family, portraying three black women who share the same emotional trauma - by their own family and from the outside world - because of their darker complexions. The film captures the complicated social burden they’ve carried for decades living in a world that sees dark skin as lesser and not beautiful.
