Oklahoma producer Mickey Liddell loves “Good Hair”
Oklahoma native Mickey Liddell loves comedian Chris Rock’s documentary “Good Hair,” which opened nationwide Friday.
In fact, the producer liked it so much that his company, Liddell Entertainment, ended up distributing the film with Roadside Attractions.
“It’s great. It’s so funny and Chris is so amazing in it,” Liddell said.
In the documentary, Rock and filmmaker Jeff Stilson explore the black community’s obsession with their hair. Rock talks to a number of black luminaries about their hair issues (including Maya Angelou, Reverend Al Sharpton, Nia Long, Raven Symone, Ice-T, and Paul Mooney), researches the dangers of many common hair-straightening treatments, reveals the surprising expense of regular hair “relaxing” and weaves, and ponders what the pursuit of straight hair says about black cultural identity.
