Hot Irons
Hot Irons provides a rare look into the social culture of African-American hairstyling, as explained by five Detroit hairdressers in preparation for the Hair Wars convention. Aided by striking cinematography and a brilliantly eclectic soundtrack, Dosunmu captures the hopes and pressures of the men who were laid off from the automobile industry and now compete for recognition and respect in the fantastically creative world of black hair styling.

Tv:

Yizo - Yizo
Yizo Yizo began as a controversial and popular TV drama about a Johannesburg, all-black high school. As addictive as a soap opera but as topical as a news magazine, the series portrays a young rape victim haunted by nightmares; the perpetrators adjusting to prison life while awaiting their trial; the politics of school budgetary and staffing cuts; an opportunistic teacher-student affair; and a teacher who cannot overcome cultural differences between herself and her students.
