Back to Natural is a powerful documentary that exposes a historic and
contemporary view into worlds and issues that are often unknown. This film
provides audiences with a complex and global understanding of the ways in
which race, identity, and hair are all related, offering a compassionate
viewpoint on issues that impact African descendants’ sense of self and the
often unknown barriers society places on one’s ability to simply exist. Back
to Natural gives a unique and shocking look at the global policing of Black
bodies and the underlying racism against natural looks. The Natural Hair
Movement today represents the peeling off of a decades-long mask that required
Blacks to adopt the look and feel of the larger white population.
