A cinematic exploration around the theme of the Human Zoo: the 'exotic' exhibitions that took place in Europe well into the 20th century, where people of colour were displayed behind a fence for public viewing. What effect does this history have on black women today? How do you relate to a gaze that reduces you to a stereotype? How do you reclaim your autonomy?
