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.
