The world premiere of the documentary Dark Girls (http://www.officialdarkgirlsmovie.com), will take place during the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), September 8 18, 2011. The revealing documentary from Directors/Producers Bill Duke (Duke Media) and D. Channsin Berry (Urban Winter Entertainment) uncovers colorism bias toward women with darker skin and its multigenerational effect in cultures around the world. Women from Latin America, Asia, and the United States share their poignant stories. Until we heal women we cannot heal the world, Berry explains. Also featured in the film are interviews with Academy Award nominee Viola Davis, comedian Michael Colyar, and actress Anna Maria Horsford. Duke states, We are thankful for the support of TIFF and the opportunity to showcase our film on such an important worldwide stage.
