Black Women, Sexual Politics and the Revolution

Black women speak candidly on issues of sex, class and gender roles. The video examines how African American women deal with issues of poverty, abortion, battering and lack of health care, and addresses how women's roles in community struggle and activism are often overlooked or ignored. The video also looks at media portrayals with an emphasis on the representation of Black women in music video. Part of the Not Channel Zero video series.

Reviews

"An inventive New York media collective with an afrocentric perspective and a refreshing way of combining aesthetic imagination with political savvy." - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

The show has a hyperactive style that often jolts viewers into a stimulative, occasionally witty visual escapade. - Ray Smith, New York Newsday

Not Channel Zero encourages viewers to locate and challenge the biases of television and other media. - Laurie Oullette,, Will the Revolution be Televised?

NCZ jars viewers' ordinarily passive acceptance of visual images and challenges them to form their own interpretations and, most important, their own opinions. - LaRose Parris, American Visions
