“The Big Chop” is a short film (comedy), that follows ten year old Kris on her natural hair journey of self love and acceptance. Once a die hard lover of her big afro, weekly hints from her mom that her hair is not acceptable in its natural state and being teased on the playground, Kris decides to get a perm. She continues to perm her hair until one day she’s had enough. She stands in the mirror, looks at herself, and chops her permed hair off, leaving her with very little hair on her head. Minutes after, she has a breakdown and is not comfortable with her new teeny weeny hairstyle. She takes her boyfriend along with her on the ride to “fix” her hair, but comes to the realization her hair is acceptable no matter what the world says.
