Four Women
‘Four Women’ is an experimental dance film. It employs the use of stylised movements and dress to convev the spirit of African-American womanhood from an embryonic stage in the motherland Africa, through to the struggle to survive in America today. The film points to the many aspects and qualities of African-American women's resistance and endurance – “invisible” to the majority of white society while challenging the many well-worn stereotypes of Black women. Beautifully filmed to the accompaniment of Nina Simone singing the title song.
