Good Hair by Chris Rock

Just ran across this new movie coming out from Chris Rock called Good Hair. As explained on the film's Sundance page, Rock was disturbed when his daughter, Lola, asked him why she didn't have good hair. "Celebrities such as Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, and Reverend Al Sharpton all candidly offer their stories and observations to Rock while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to respond to his daughter's question. What he discovers is that black hair is a big business that doesn't always benefit the black community and little Lola's question might well be bigger than his ability to convince her that the stuff on top of her head is nowhere near as important as what is inside." Sounds super interesting. Trailer is at the official site and YouTube of course.
