It’s not flawless, or free of blemishes and glitches, but neither should it be. As the film details, it soundly rejects the unjust demands for perfection dealt out to women of colour by society.

In this twisty, provocative hybrid documentary, filmmakers Jazmin Renée Jones and Olivia McKayla Ross set out to answer one set of burning questions and instead find themselves navigating a much thornier journey of artistic discovery and reclamation.

Seeking a woman denied a voice, Jones has made herself the star of her own film, doing all sorts of things, like roller skating and consulting a tarot reader, that will make doc purists clutch their pearls, a sidelong pleasure of the piece.

Seeking Mavins Beacon is less a documentary than it is a meditation on and manifesto for black women. An attempt to firmly root Black woman in the digital world, the film makes it clear that Black women have always been in those spaces.
