In 2023, Screen Cares co-hosts Sarah & Jennie got to sit down with writer-director Lagueria Davis to discuss her creative process and vision in making the fantastic film Black Barbie. In case you missed the episode before, we thought we'd release it again so that you can be sure to learn more about Davis' hard work and vision for this important film.

At the time, the film had just been available within the film festival circuit but, unsurprisingly due to its popularity and positive reception, Black Barbie is now available for viewing on Netflix. Don't miss out on this wonderful celebration of Black joy, creativity, power, authenticity and why representation (even in the world of Barbie) matters.

Screen Cares' co-hosts, Jennie and Sarah, discuss how a movie can become a cinematic portrayal of how movies can grow with a viewer over time. The story of the four March sisters has held a place in the hearts of readers since Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women more that 150 years ago. Their story entered into Jennie’s heart at the age of nine when she and her mother saw the 1994 film adaptation of Little Women. Jennie's affection for this cozy film has moved into the realm of film-friendship and she introduces listeners to the special lessons each character offers.

What does the punk band, The Descendents, folk musician and activist Malvina Reynolds' song "Little Boxes" and the 1998 movie, Pleasantville, have in common?
