Afro-Saxons

"Weaving, Braiding and Dying To Win..." It's Black History Month this month and what better way to spend it by watching a film following talented Afro hair stylists as they enter the most competitive hair competition in the UK - the Black Beauty and Hair Awards. Angela is a braid stylist to the stars, Wayne and Cyndia are the leading junior stylists at the UK's biggest chain of Afro hair salons, George and Apple are a Thai couple obsessed with Afro hair and Michael is a Birmingham leading Afro stylist. All are weaving, braiding and dying to win.. Created by Chocolate Films, Afro-Saxons is a sharp and funny observational documentary for all, and has already caught the attention of film critics and several national newspapers:- "Sharp and often funny." Derek Malcom, Evening Standard "Spirted and funny documentary...it's good to see a vision of modern urban life free of grimy gun-slinging cliches" Sukhdev Sandhu, The Telegraph "An entertaining and frequently amusing documentary" FILM FOUR "If you don't find it complusive viewing, you're dead from the neck up."
