(In)Visible Portraits

(In)Visible Portraits, the feature documentary directorial debut from Oge Egbuonu, shatters the too-often invisible otherizing of Black women in America and reclaims the true narrative as told in their own words. The film illuminates the history of how we got here, dismantles the false framework of the present-day reality, celebrates the extraordinary heritage of exceptional Black women, and ignites hope for the next generation.

The documentary features conversations with scholars Dr. Joy DeGruy, Dr. Ruha Benjamin, Dr. Melina Abdullah, Dr. Patrica Hill Collins; as well as the works of visual artist Victoria Cassinova and poet Jazmine Williams.
