@IssaRaePresents #ShortFilmSundays – a new short by a new creator, the first Sunday of every month.
The Big Chop follows 10 year old Kris on her natural hair journey of self love and acceptance. Once a die hard lover of her big afro, negative hints from her mom and teasing on the playground causes Kris to get a perm. She continues to perm her hair as an adult until one day she has had enough. She stands in the mirror and does the “big chop.”
