BUY IT: http://www.caachi.com/Members/skinnymenproductions/ - A documentary centered on the controversial art exhibition "The Venus Revolution" that displays sensual and exotic images of curvaceous women in an awe-inspiring manner. In a time where discussions of female exploitation and body image are at an all-time high, this artwork strikes at the core of many of today's most provoking topics and reveals one of the nature's most beautiful and widely adored creations - the glorious figure of the Black Woman.
I've seen the movie and the exhibit clearly is in no way an "excuse to show woman naked".
This is nothing like that
The documentary is about the notion of the "Hotentot Venus" an attraction in the 19th century that helped shape the concept of sexuality of Black Women.
The point is to reclaim curvyness of a Black Woman's body from being something shamefull, and appreciate it as good- hence the name "Venus Lives".
The women in this film are clearly comfortable of their bodies...good for them.

Okay, are they really serious here. This is not celebrating black womens beauty. That's just a sugar coated version of exploiting black women more. I dont think Ms. Bartman would be proud if she saw this. They got these women standing on display and on pictures naked..... Just like Sarah was. Your body should be a secret treasure celebrated by you and your spouse, not admired on display like a painting or statue! Just a poor excuse for black women to get naked.

Curviness does not discriminate again size. Those narrow, thin women can have hips and booty too.

at 4:00 in I understand what you're trying to do but I think it's going to backfire. No Offense.
Is there anything in the DVD about Black woman health, mentality, elevating to a higher level a being etc etc.
Peace.

I think this dude behind the venus revolution is a pervert who likes BBW Black women. People still trying to make money of Sarah Bartman...black people too ...He said it himself ..Sex sells ... If anything i think it trashes her memory .... If i wanna see black women shaking thier ass i will watch the latest hip hop video or a porno!!!

Maybe I need to see the whole thing cuz....this preview giving me mixed emotions..is this a celebration/lesson or more exploitation and your name is Hotep? Is that really your name but yet you're leaving me with unreadiness not PEACE.
