True Match is an amateur documentary that focusses on black American women’s experience with Western beauty standards. Giving a voice to this marginalized group, the film serves as a platform for women to share their truth as they speak candidly about identity erasure and forced assimilation. The images within the documentary both capture and complement the narrative of the young women voicing the film.
