2006 Film Index Back to Main Site		Back WHITE SHADOWS Mialyn Hanna (US, 2006, 72 min) Documentary, LGBT, Spirituality Sunday, Oct 8, 3:45pm, Hal Holmes An inspirational story of survival and transformation, White Shadows profiles Dalee Henderson, a famed celebrity hairstylist who is diagnosed with AIDS and must reconcile himself to how the disease ravages his body and mind. A gay, African-American man raised in the rural, segregated South of the 1950s, Dalee escaped to the West Coast to live life openly and proudly, arriving in Los Angeles in the late ‘70s, where he amassed a wealth of professional and personal friends by virtue of his gregarious nature. We follow his journey through suffering to an ultimate victory of spirit and joy that challenges our own paradigm of life/death, survival/transformation.
