Good Hair (2009), starring funny-man Chris Rock, Directed by Jeff Stilson!

When his daughter poses the question "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?", Rock embarks on a hilarious quest to explore the ways in which having and wanting so called 'good hair' effects the everyday lives of the African American community and ultimately seeks a way to address the conundrum as a father of two girls.

From beauty shops to barber shops to street corners, Rock quizzes big-business, hair professionals, celebrities, consumers, husbands and boyfriends who each talk candidly about the sexual and economic politics of hair.

Beginning his odyssey in Atlanta, Rock visits the renowned Bronner Brothers' International Hair and Beauty Show where he discovers some staggering statistics on the hair industry in relation to the African American community. The annual 3-day event culminates in an extraordinary hairdresser talent quest that director Jeff Stilson cleverly harnesses as a throughline, following each of the four finalists as they prepare for their final performance - an absurd stage show - bringing this documentary to a head.
