A couple of days ago the long anticipated film Dark Girls premiered on the OWN Network, and as we stated from the responses from people on Twitter and other social media outlets, we heard that the buzz was looking to be huge.
Well, now our sources have confirmed what we heard then; Dark Girls was the highest-rated documentary in the network’s history.
The OWN Network is going to make an official announcement soon.
The film, which was co-Directed by Bill Duke (Duke Media) and D. Channsin Berry (Urban Winter Entertainment) examines the colorism of African American women today but ends up creating conversations that have plagued the not only black community for years, but the Asian and Latin communities as well.
The film discusses issues that many have with their skin tone and what it means and feels like to live in a world as a darker skinned person. This film broadcasts the message of what many may have struggled with for years, and it also lends itself to a means of healing.
As a documentary, we, the viewer, get a chance to see interviews from several people throughout the film such as psychological view from Cheryl Grills, Ph.D. just to name a few. DG brings in a Hollywood perspective as it sits down with comedian Michael Coylar and actress Viola Davis and several others.
Thanks to this surprising success, we can expect more from the films producers real soon.
