About "Dark Girls": Documentary Directors/Producers Bill Duke (Duke Media) and D. Channsin Berry (Urban Winter Entertainment) have focused their cameras on an American cultural bias that also runs deep in cultures around the world. The film features poignant, unfiltered, and penetrating interviews with Black women of the darkest hues for their emotional exposes. Duke called Berry with his idea for the movie. Two years in the making, "Dark Girls" pulls back a cultural curtain to reveal that the deep-seated biases and hatreds of racism - within and outside of the Black American culture - remain bitterly entrenched.
