Filmmaker Alyscia Cunningham’s documentary, I Am More Than My Hair won the “Best Documentary Short” award at the Through Women’s Eyes (TWE) International Film Festival 2020. The award-winning documentary features inspirational stories of females who have experienced hair loss and how it has affected their sense of self in a world where one’s hair is an integral part of traditional beauty standards.
The TWE International Film Festival took place March 6-8, 2020, in Sarasota, Florida. The festival presents films by or about women from around the world. Proceeds from TWE benefit the UN Women USA Gulf Coast Chapter (GCC).
“I am honored for my short film to be recognized by TWE,” said Cunningham. “I hope audiences nationwide view my film—from women personally affected by hair loss to those in the beauty industry who can work to change conservative standards of beauty.”
