Strands of Resistance unravels the deep history and cultural significance of textured hair against a backdrop of oppression in America’s modern-day struggle for equality.

We meet individuals confronting race-based hair discrimination and explore the impact of their stories on broader policy change.

Examining hair as both a symbol of pride and perseverance in Black, brown, and Indigenous communities, we honor its legacy and challenge the systems that seek to diminish it.
