Official Trailer for 'Donyale Luna: Super Model' Doc Film from HBO

"Where are you from?" "My name is Luna. I'm from the Moon." HBO has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled Donyale Luna: Super Model, from filmmaker Nailah Jefferson. This premiered at the 2023 American Black Film Festival earlier this year, and will be out for streaming to watch on Max in September. The film explores the amazing life & career of Donyale Luna, as one of the first Black models to appear on the cover of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar in Europe. Originally born as Peggy Ann Freeman in Detroit, Michigan, she made the cover of the British edition of Vogue in March 1966. Luna entered modeling in a period that favored "white passing models" and has been described as "the first Black model who really began to change things; to enable more diverse beauty paradigms to break through." She appeared on 11 fashion magazine covers between 1965 and 1975. This seems like a compelling doc about her life and career and the impact she had on society, and also wondering why we don't know any more about her. Take a look. // Continue Reading ›
