Through the personal stories of several former black female Civil Rights activists, Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights unearths the lesser-known story of black women's political marginalization between the male-dominated Black Power movement, and the predominantly white and middle class Feminist movement during the 1960s and 70s, as well as the resulting mobilization of black and other women of color into a united Feminist movement.
- Written by Nevline Nnaji
Reflections Unheard was awarded “Best Film on Matters Related to the Black/Marginalized Experience” by the Black International Cinema Berlin Film Festival in 2014.
