Good Hair DVD
Written, produced and narrated by the world's biggest comedian Chris Rock (Madagascar, The Longest Yard) and winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival 2009, Good Hair is released on DVD by Icon Home Entertainment on 27 September 2010.
Prompted by his five-year-old daughter, Chris Rock is tasked with figuring out how to respond to her question; "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?"
Doing what he does best, Rock uses his sharp comedic wit to delve into the $9 billion Afro-American hair industry and uncover the extent many black women go to for the perfect hairstyle.
Joined by director Jeff Stilson (Ali G in the U.S.Aiii) Rock's hilarious adventure takes an informative look at the definition of good hair and exposes how this booming business impacts the activities, bank accounts, sexual relationships and self-esteem amongst members of the black community.
As viewers are taken back to their roots, the search takes Rock and his documentary team from a convention in Atlanta to the temples of India, where human hair is one of the country's biggest exports.
Along the way they meet haircare professionals, beauty and barber shop patrons, plus a host of celebrities such as Ice-T, Nia Long, Paul Mooney and Salt n' Pepa who lay bare their stories and observations of Good Hair
Good Hair marks a reunion of the force behind Rock's acclaimed and Emmy® Award winning HBO series The Chris Rock Show, including producer Nelson George, writer-director Jeff Stilson with writers Lance Crouther and Chuck Sklar.
Hailed by The Observer as "Funny, illuminating and appropriately slick", Good Hair is a smart, snappy comedy documentary that approaches a serious issue with just the right amount of side-splitting humour. Make GGood Hair the latest addition to your DVD collection from 27 September 2010.
