Directed by filmmaker Lagueria Davis, this Netflix documentary tells the story of the first-ever Black Barbie doll and what she meant for generations of girls worldwide.

First released in 1959, Mattel's Barbie doll has shaped childhoods for generations and had a huge influence across pop culture, from film to music to fashion.

But Barbie was not always as multifaceted and diverse as she is today.

As a blonde, white-skinned young woman, the original Barbie dolls had a profound impact on how girls from minority communities saw themselves.

Lagueria Davis is a filmmaker and the niece of Beulah Mae Mitchell, one of the first Black women to ever work for Mattel.

In this 2023 Netflix documentary, Davis interviews her aunt and other women involved in creating the first-ever Black Barbie.
