The film includes interviews with women and girls who lost their hair due to health-related conditions, including autoimmune, chemotherapy, and other medical conditions, or cut their hair in solidarity of a loved one. It documents their personal stories and how they learned to embrace their identities without conforming to the conventional standards of beauty often promoted by mainstream media.[2]
In addition to the film, I Am More Than My Hair was also released as a photography book, featuring portrait-style photographs taken by Cunningham alongside excerpts from each interview. The book was published in 2018.[4]
- The film has been screened at museums, libraries, and film festivals, including the Sandy Spring Museum,[5] the Women’s Museum of California, and other community events.
- The photo series has been exhibited at art institutions and galleries throughout the United States.
