So, 'Black Hair' is this interesting documentary from 2005 that dives into the Korean dominance of the Black beauty supply market. Aron Ranen really unpacks the dynamics there, showing how African Americans are fighting to reclaim their stake in an industry that’s been largely taken over. The pacing feels deliberate, letting you soak in the real stories behind the statistics. The interviews are candid, and you get a sense of the struggle and resilience. It has this raw, grassroots vibe that’s really distinct. You can feel the tension of cultural heritage and economic power intertwined, which is pretty thought-provoking. Not your typical doc, but it sure makes you think about identity and ownership in a unique way.
