Channsin Berry (Dark Girls, The Black Line) and his production company Urban Winter Entertainment, Inc. 

From acclaimed filmmaker D. Channsin Berry, Dark Girls 2, adds to the conversation by now bringing about the possible healing of women of color around the issue of colorism. Berry brings this conversation to the forefront of everyday women, young adults and teens who are dealing with the pain and anguish of the bias and discrimination they experience based on the color of their skin. In a day and age where “dark skin” vs “light skin” shouldn’t be an issue, women share their deeply personal stories of how they have been affected throughout their lives and their ongoing journeys towards healing.
