How one documentary reframes the history of Black women

How one documentary reframes the history of Black women CNN 3/1/2021 By Leah Asmelash, CNN © Courtesy Domino Powell Oge Egbuonu s documentary, (In)visible Portraits, is a love letter to Black women, she told CNN. Black women are the mules of the world, Zora Neale Hurston wrote in 1937. More than 80 years later, Hurston s words in Their Eyes Were Watching God still ring true, but one filmmaker is on a journey to both expose that truth and alleviate it. Oge Egbuonu s new documentary, (In)visible Portraits, is what she calls a love letter to Black women, and a reeducation for everyone else. The 90-minute feature, set to premiere on Oprah Winfrey s OWN on March 2, reexamines the history of Black women in the United States, calling into question long-held myths about them while, at the same time, affirming Black women as seen, heard and valued.
