In the award winning Your Roots Are Showing, international makeup and hair artist Ilise Harris explores a global movement that she believes will lead to the normalization of gray hair for women and girls of any age.
The film serves as an anchor to the bigger conversation around aging, health, visibility and beauty. Utilizing historical references, striking visuals, individual “hairstories” and interviews with beauty insiders, Ilise shows us how we got here, and why it matters.
This heartwarming and entertaining film lands us firmly at the crossroads where feminism disrupts sexism and ageism, heralding a new age of female empowerment.
With immense gratitude to the Artemis Rising Foundation for its generous support of this film and for championing independent voices that challenge the status quo.
