Venus negra (2010)
Basada en la vida real de Saartjie Baartman, una mujer sudafricana que fue exhibida como un animal a principios del siglo XIX en la Academia Real de Medicina de París (1817). "No he visto nunca una cabeza humana tan parecida a la de un simio", dice el anatomista Georges Cuvier frente al cuerpo sin vida de Saartjie Baartman. Un grupo de colegas aplaude su ocurrencia. Siete años antes, Saartjie había llegado de Sudáfrica con su padrino Caezar para vender su cuerpo al morboso público londinense que compraba entradas para los zoos humanos. Fue así como Saartjie, la Venus Negra, había conseguido ser una mujer libre y esclava al mismo tiempo.
