Meduse, Afro Hair and Other Myths 2018

Directed by Adèle Albrespy

From London to Paris, Marseille to finish in Dakar, we start looking for various African neighborhood in order to film various types and techniques of hairdressing: braided braids, flat braids, plaited braids, weaving, straightening, Afro ... Throught Meetings and conversations with people and hairdressers, we question the importance of treatment and maintenance of hair in African cultures. Through the stories of Romy, Cyn, Kami and Louise we follow the evolution of their hair which finally turns out to be more political than aesthetic.
