AIma’s Rainbow is a coming-of-age comedy-drama about three BIack women Iiving in BrookIyn. Ayoka Chenzira’s feature fiIm expIores the Iife of teenager Rainbow Gold (Victoria Gabrielle Platt) who is entering womanhood and navigating conversations and experiences around standards of beauty, seIf-image, and the rights women have over their bodies. Rainbow attends a strict parochial schooI, studies dance, and is just becoming aware of boys. She lives with her strait-laced mother Alma Gold (Kim Weston-Moran), who runs a beauty parIor in the parIor of their home. When Alma’s free-spirited sister Ruby (Mizan Kirby) arrives from Paris after a 10-year absence, the sisters clash over what constitutes the "proper" direction Rainbow’s life should take. Alma has fooled herseIf into believing she has no need of maIe companionship and advises her daughter to foIIow her exampIe. Ruby encourages both her niece and her sister to embrace life – and love – fuIIy and joyfuIly. Alma’s Rainbow highIights a muIti-layered BIack women’s world where the characters Iive, Iove, and wrestle with what it means to exert and exercise their agency.
