Watch Oscar Winning Short Film "Hair Love"

At last Sunday’s Oscar ceremony, best short film went to the movie “Hair Love.” The film is based on the award winning book.

“Hair Love, is a 7 minute animated short film that centers around the relationship between an African-American father, Stephen, his daughter, Zuri and her hair. Despite having long locks, Stephen has been used to his wife doing his daughter's hair, so when she is unavailable right before a big event, Stephen will have to figure it out on his own. This sounds simple enough, but we soon come to find that Zuri's hair has a mind of its own.”
