It is Hollywood’s favorite role for Black women: the maid. Sassy or sweet, snickeringly attentive or flippantly dismissive, the performers who play them steal every scene they are in, and Tracy Moffatt’s entertaining video collage reveals the narrow margin Hollywood has allowed Black actresses to shine in. But shine they do.

Directed by Tracey Moffatt
