Why are the ticket prices so exorbitant?
Ticket prices are exorbitant, because they’re on Ticketmaster.
I’ll just wait till it’s one dollar–on RedBox–(I paid a buck to watch “Waiting for Superman,” which also was a somewhat one-sided documentary).
When will the movie return to NYC? I was unable to attend the showing at the Apollo. Will it be distributed as a wide release soon? What about purchasing the movie on dvd? When will that be available? I’m so disappointed that I wasn’t able to see the movie.
RETURN TO NYC…..WHEN? WHERE?
I hope it comes back to NYC too. Or better yet, sell the DVD on the site. (or let people rent it via youtube)
I would love to see this movie, but live on the west coast. Will it make it out here? Or will it be for sale? I’m willing to buy it if so, please keep me posted on it’s progress.
Best,

when is Dark Girls coming to Atlanta?
Are they showing the movie anywhere else in NY Bronx Brooklyn Queens? I would love to see this film.
When will this film be shown in Los Angeles, CA? If I missed the date, when will it return to Los Angeles? I (as a dark girl) have been eagerly anticipating this film. I’m sure I can relate to some of the situations mentioned throughout the film.
I would like to know if you will do a showing in Dallas, TX?
Sincerely,
Jacque Bell
Or Houston, TX (please)! I’d really like to see it!!
San Antonio maybe?
How can we get this movie to show in Boston, MA?
Thanks!
I would like to know when and if the movie will be playing in the Hampton, Virginia area.

Sounds like a very intriguing documentary. I’ve always been passionate about black girls, black women (especially) of darker skin, appreciating and honouring our true beauty. I trust that this documentary will not victimize darker skin women but enlighten us and others to the unique and distinct beauty we possess. Please bring this to Toronto Canada; there is a great need here.
Thank you
Can you buy tickets at the door?
I tried to see the film in Oakland, CA last year, but it sold out. When will it come to Houston, TX. I’d love to see it! My friends who saw it, loved it! Can’t wait to see it.
Philadelphia would like to participate.
COME TO RIGHMOND, VA……….. PLEASE
PLEASE let us know when you will be back in the DC Area. I would like to see the film but am just hearing about your showing in DC today. Can’t make it.
I’d love to help you organize a screening in Tampa. I not only have an event planning company but I am affiliated with one of the graduate chapters of delta sigma theta and we can get a large group to come out and support. Please contact me if you are interested.
I live in ft lauderdale, fl. Will you be showing the film here and when? Though the climate is great, our people are dead down here. I’d be the first in line to buy tickets and I’d encourage every black soul I know to attend.
when is it coming to Sacramento area in California?
Please tell me you will be coming to South Florida very soon. I would love to see this movie. So please let me know when you guys will be down here in the ft.lauderdale or miami area. Thank you!!!
Please bring the movie to Austin, TX.
Hey,
I have been following this film for some time now and think its most appropriate that this film and after conversation come to the City Of Boston. As a young black male, and Morehouse College Graduate the trend of placing light skin women over dark skin black women among my peers is very high.
A lot of Black Men think that there is a prestige associated with having a light skin women and only will talk to a dark skin women for sport or as a last resort. The irony behind “the dark girl experience” is that dark men are subject to the same emotional trauma and grow up with the same self esteem issues most black people that do not love themselves grow up with.
At the end of the day if you have no self love and your family does not tell you that your smart and beautiful and that you can conquer the world you will never believe in yourself or your people. From my experience light skin people are subject to all types of jokes and sometimes grow up wanting to be darker as if dark skin tone is an affirmation to being black race.
At the end of the day this is a psychological disorder that black people use to divide each other among themselves. To truly believe Black is Beautiful and be Black and Proud is to believe that Black is not limited to darkness yet darkness is black in at its best. No longer can we allow such a trivial issue effect the way we perceive each other on a grand scale. Its 2012 and Black it seems that Black People have become more overtly discriminatory towards each other than “the oppressor”. Moving forward we need to remember what Lawrence Fishburne eloquently said at the end of the classic 1980′s film School Daze and do better. WAKE UP!!!!!!

I would love to see this film in California (Los Angeles), especially at the Pan African Film & Arts Festival next month.
I’m an Behavioral Specialist for Memphis City Schools and Sponsor of the Melrose Charmettes (an organization for high school young ladies). I would love to bring this documentary to Our middle and high schools young ladies, whom are indeed in search of themselves.
Please advise when this film will be screened/ marketed on the west coast –
particularly in the larger markets, e.g. Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area where I live.
Where is Philadelphia, PA? Please bring a screening to Philly. Besides, it is conveniently located between New York and Washington DC.
For years this has been a pet peeve, as I too grew up in the 50′s-6o’s experiencing the same kind of negative sterotypes about skin color. Unfortunately, 30-40 years later, while working with elementary age girls, I was appalled to learn they still used the same criteria when selecting the opposite sex. “I don’t like him, he too dark.” I say all this to say, I’m hopeful this documentary will be scheduled for showing in New Jersey. Thank you.
Congrats on getting this film made. I’m from Oakland originally, currently livng in the Dallas area. When will this film be screened on this side of the country? It needs to be in every city, town, and villiage. I realize it’s expensive, but please try to make it available to as many people of color as possible. I’m anxious to see what you do next. Thanks.
hello!
congratulations that it happened! i am so excited! the big question is how can we get Dark Girls on the westcoast?! i am in portland, or and work at a high school with students of every hue. i would so like to expose them to the film. i would also like to see it with my sister friends and have a discussion group after viewing. i am “light, bright, damned near white” and am excited about the stirrings i hear about a film about light skinned girls. we so need to talk about these issues that are indicative of our collective colonized mindsets.
anyway! thanks so much and i am anxious to see the film!
mlgates
Please come to Memphis,TN!! I believe that it is so important that the youth of my fair city to see this and to understand the issues that surrounds them. I , being an African American, have seen and heard all the prejudices inside the African American community especially prejudices that deal with complexion of ones skin. So please please please come to Memphis.
Yes, please come to Memphis!
Hello,
I love the trailer and heard about the movie on KissFM in New York. I was not able to make it to the Apollo and was wondering if the film would make its way to New Jersey, Newark, specifically. Thank you in advance.
when will you be showing in New York City?
This is very frustrating being unable to confirm that I have tickets to see the film dark girls at The fountain of Praise in Houston Texas. I responded the minute I recieved the email. At that time it did not say sold out. I requested 10 or 12 tickets. Event was free, but Tickets were needed. Please advise as to confirmation of tickets. I did recieve a confirmation but it did not say how many tickets. Please respond.
Hello I just heard about this movie through the TV One Rowland Martin show. I would only hope that you can make a stop in Houston, TX where this movie can be shown to others like myself. I want to see the rest of the film.
come to tampa
I was called so many names I can’t even count them. By family, by friends, all through elementary and high school. I looked for college to be different…but then the skin color thing was applied to on campus sororities. A can’t wait to see your movie. Hope it hits distribution soon!
We are so impressed that you have chosen to place a spot light on this subject matter that is crippling our young women. I’m over 70 and you can believe nothing has changed from the days when I was growing up. Darker skinned young women in many cases hate themselves because of their skin color and its heart breaking. We’d like this film to be shown in Seattle, WA. I’d like to know are we going to be able to see the documentary here?
Will there be a showing in the Dallas TX area?
Will there be any other showings?
Bring this movie to Charlotte, NC let me know when.
Charlotte, NC would be a great place for a showing of the film. A large and diverse audience during CIAA week Feb Feb 28-Mar 4 2012
I would have like to attend. If you are passing through again, please alert me. New York is preferable, but Baltimore and DC might work as well.
Will the movie be showing in Atlanta?
When are coming to Newark, New Jersey?
When are you coming to Newark, N.J.?
Good morning,
My friends an our are located in the Washington, DC area and were disappointed that there was only one showing scheduled for our area. It was only a few days before the showing when we heard about it and were unable to attend. Are there any plans in the near future to have another showing in our area?
Thank you,
I can’t wait to see the movie.
Wow! Did I just miss the showing here in Baltimore? Are returning for another showing here or in DC.?
When is the film coming to Detroit!
Yes! Detroit, please!
I would like to know if there would be another screening in the DC, MD, VA, PA area as I was unable to make the Jan. 20th screening due to a family emergency. If so can you please let me know when and where. Thanks
When will Dark Girl be coming to Chicago.
I love all Women of Color, not matter what shade they are. i do believe that all women should be treated as indivuals and not as a whole. I have dated some very lovely women of color and I can only say if you limit yourself to a certain shade, well you are cheating yourself out some very lovely ladies.
When will this documentary come to Los Angeles? I am anticipating it arrival.
Please bring this film to the Inland Empire – San Bernardino County and Riverside County, located in Southern California.
I would love to advocate for this movie to be brought to us in Cali.
Thank you!
When is the film coming to Dallas, Tx or any part of Texas? I would love to see this film!!!!!!
When is the film coming to Chicago?
Will this movie be showing anywhere in Canada? The AMC in Montreal, Quebec is a great place that brings in documentaries and “foreign” films
Dark Girls is a must for the Metro Atlanta area.
PLEASE BRING THIS DOCUMENTARY TO BOSTON!!
This film NEEDS to be seen by all who claim to be human. This film is long overdue and I, for one, can not wait to see it when it comes to Washington, DC.
Hats off to the film makers!
Would love for the film to come to Tampa, Fl. I know many who will support it !
Please bring this movie to Las Vegas, Nevada.
I want to purchase this film. Will there be dvd’s available anytime soon? You need to bring this to Atlanta.
Hope it will come to Boston, MA!!!
Need to bring to Dallas/Fort Worth Area. A definite must see.
Loved the trailer. Are DVDs going to be available? Please bring this movie to Pittsburgh. It is truly needed.
I have been intrigued by this film since I saw the sneak peak last year. I would love to know if/when you will be screening this film in Boston, MA
This documentary needs to be shown at all HBCU’s!
Giving a shout out to Morgan State University!
I would love to see this movie in Virginia Beach, or at least Norfolk! Please bring it to this area; if they can show “The Color Purple” here, they can show “Dark Girls”!
Is there a possibly to have a showing in Grand Rapids, MI or at least Detroit, MI
Thank you!
I have been checking websites for about 6 months, searching and waiting for information of a release date of this documentary. If there is any anticipation of additional east coast dates, please please PLEASE bring this to Boston!! There is definitely a desire here and I would be very grateful for the opportunity.
Thank you in advance
I also want to purchase this documentary, to have, when it becomes available.
Seems like a lot of questions are being asked here on this website by interested folks, but nobody’s getting answers.
It would be nice to see some answers put onto this website in response to the questions being asked.
I would love for this film to visit Chattanooga, TN; however, I would travel to see it in either Atlanta or Nashville. Please, please.
I would like to second the motion for another DC screening
Your web site MUST list where and when the film will be showing around the U.S. and when a dvd will be available and how it can be ordered.
How come show was cancelled in Buffalo? This is a much needed film for our community.
the showing at Shea’s was cancelled! will there be another showing this month? will it still be at shea’s? or what?! I was so amped to go today
Is the film coming to St. Louis, Missouri? We would definitely support it!
Please bring this film to Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The trailer is powerful and we need a film like this to inspire women here.
Thank you for some other informative website. Where else may just I am getting that type of info written in such a perfect approach? I’ve a project that I’m just now running on, and I have been at the glance out for such information.
This is a very gripping documentary… The reality of skin color discrimination within our own community is very real, but just not widely discussed.
This documentary is the much needed platform to bring this sad and embarrasing topic to the forefront. Thank you for doing the much needed work to shed light on this issue.
Please, please, please bring this film to RALEIGH NC!
Birmingham or Tuscaloosa, Alabama would do well to see this.
Please bring your documentary to Columbia University. We have a women’s forum and we would be honored to screen it for the university.

Unfortunately, I missed the February 2012 Baltimore preview.. And much to my dissapointment I’ve learned today that I missed other opportunities for the East Coast shows. Please disclose if there are any near future plans to release the film nation wide… this is too important a topic to keep under wraps in limited release. Further to the point what is happening with the media coverage/promotion of the movie—I am just now hearing of it and desperately searching for ways to view this film. This sounds like a film that everyone woman & man of color should see— While the effect of color discrimination within the Afrincan American community have & continue to be devistating “Colorism” doesn’t just happen in the African American community it’s global–and it’s a serious problem.
The trailer had me crying at my desk. It’s not my story but it took very culturally sensitive and proactive parents for me not to end up like these women.
I live in DC and a show here would my preference but I’d would commute to any major East Coast city namely Philly and New York. If DVD’s are available that would be great too. Please keep up the showings!
Please bring the film to Detroit/Ann Arbor!
Please come to Chicago!
When is this movie going wide, if not, you should sell dvds of it online so we can spread the message.
Please bring back the doc to NYC!
Really hope this comes to Washington, DC soon!!! You’ll have to schedule at least two screenings b/c it WILL sell out.
When are you guys coming to Florida? A showing in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami wouldn’t hurt.
Come to St. Louis: The Tivoli: http://www.landmarktheatres.com/market/st.louis/tivolitheatre.htm
Please show this in Milwaukee, WI
This movie is very timely. When we are going through a very racially charged era with attacks from the outside, we need to deal with our own internal issues that divide us. It is a tragedy that we let something as trivial, uncontrollable and totally without merit as skin tone have such a devastating affect on how we relate to each other. Skin tone predicts nothing of importance.
We would love to see this film in Baton Rouge Louisiana!
As a Hispanic, this is prevalent in our culture too. I would love for my young daughters to see this. Please come to Houston.
Please bring this documentary to Portland, Oregon!!
The trailer was heartbreaking and moving. I really want to see this movie. I’m in Fort Lauderdale. Show it anywhere in South Florida and I’ll be there. Rise women rise! Thank you.
You guys need to brings this to the West Coast, especially LA. A lot of young girls need to see something like this and learn to love themselves…
I have sen the preview and I must see this Documentary. I see from previous comments that it’s not widely available everywhere as of yet. I would Love to see this In The DFW area in Texas. Fort Worth to be specific. All the major events go to either Houston or Dallas. I am not in either of those cities. If it is available to but, please email me info on how I can get a copy. Thank you!
This is a movie that NEEDS to be released to the public. I know that you may be trying to make a profit or at least break even, but, this is a landmark in time for America. The internet is a tool that can be used properly instead of making us wait for the movie to come to a small area for a limited time. Either set it up for purchase/rental online or release it to the wild. Before someone else does.
Just became aware of this film, would love to see it in its entirety. Will it be coming to the St. Louis area soon, if not how can I get a copy?
You have to go way back to understand this problem.The problem started during the time of slavery and the evil slave owner willian lynch has a lot to do with it.
William Lynch, identifies himself as the master of a “modest plantation” in the British West Indies who has been summoned to the Virginia Colony by local slaveowners to advise them on problems they have been having in managing their slaves. He briefly notes that their current violent method of handling unruly slaves – lynching, though the term is not used – is inefficient and counterproductive. Instead, he suggests that they adopt his method, which consists of exploiting differences such as age and skin color in order to pit slaves against each other.
Where can I see/rent/buy this? There are a lot of comments on here requesting this info (from around the country) and unless you respond privately, none have been answered. Could you please give us some info? I’m dying to see this. Thank you!
When will this film be available on DVD? I’ve been tracking its progress since I saw the preview a year ago and still nothing! It will never come to my country, so how about making it available to those outside the select viewing cities?
Dallas/Fort Worth is waiting!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring this documentary to Milwaukee.
Are DVD’s going to be available for purchase?
would love to see this in chicago!
I would love to see this in Oklahoma City! We need it!
Will some copies be sold on DVD? I would love to purchase.
These problems are not only characteristic of the children of America but a worldwide phenomenon. It would be fantastic to see this available to all of our black children. Please consider releasing a DVD of the movie. I would be glad to raise awareness in the UK via African lifestyle magaine, FabAfriq.
Stop by Chicago/Milwaukee Please
I am crying inside and out bc this hurts to see my ppl in pain and I am crying bc I am light skin and have always had an issue with being light. My life has been shaped by the pain of being light. I just don’t get us as a ppl — others may put us down but why do we do it to each other.
Please can you can to London. We did an exhibition and showed the preview. I’d love to get a chance to see this movie.
Are you guys coming to New Orleans?
This is the time. The time is now. It is time to have this film show across the nation in many theaters. The awakened community will come out in numbers to support it. I am a Dark Skinned brother, and I have experienced some of the things that were said to these sisters. One that I heard a lot, even til this present time is….”You are so handsome, to be dark” Luckly I am a strong brother. We have to change our peoples mindsets. The time is NOW!!!!!!!
is there anyway that we can just purchase the movie instead of waiting for a tour date. I would actually buy the movie. Or if it was at the red box I would get it from there as well. Please keep your fans updated. Thanks
Truly touched by the trailer.. is there a chance this movie will make it all the way to Holland! I’ve been waiting al looooooong time!
Please bring it to Los Angeles the community is in dire need to see this!
When will the movie be available for purchase?
When will the Dark Girls full movie be released? I live in London, UK..
Where can I purchase a copy of this deeply thought provoking movie…
I hope it will become a blockbuster as the world needs to understand or should I say overstand the emotional effect on the human mind..
