A Different Image

!
A film still from A Different Image shows a young Black woman sitting in front of a mirror, braiding her hair. She is wearing a blue outer layer with flower patterns and is sitting on a pile of white and blue pillows.

A highly acclaimed film, A Different Image is an extraordinary poetic portrait of a beautiful young African American woman attempting to escape becoming a sex object and discover her true heritage. Through a sensitive and humorous story about her relationship with a man, the film makes provocative connections between racism and sexual stereotyping. The screenplay is published in Screenplays of the African American Experience, edited by Phyllis R. Klotman.
