Kiri Davis ‘A girl like me’

This is a modern experiment based on Clark & Clark's 1940s 'Doll test,' created by 17-year-old Kiri Davis. 'It's about how European features - especially light skin and straight hair - are still perceived as more attractive than African features and the effect on black girls. The movie contains an extraordinary sequence in which African-American children are asked to choose between black and white dolls. '
