Ladylike
The fall 09 edition of the Diaspora Festival of Black and Independent Film, Passion and Remembrance: Dislocation/Relocation/Diaspora (D/R/D), includes films that address historical and contemporary movements of people and the social dynamics that tend to define their daily lives.
An upward trend in black migration urges an aspiring filmmaker to examine the term “African American.” This compelling documentary rouses important and timely dialogue about identity, culture, race, geography, America and the global movement of African peoples.

Two black women, one Muslim and the other secular, initially see each other as the antithesis of a proper woman. But when one must save the other from a peeping tom, they learn there is not only common ground between them, but fertile ground for building a friendship.
