    Bigger than Barbie

    Tina Davis 2006 Norway Documentary color 52min Multi-language Beta
    When Tina Davis first saw the colorful and quirky Monkeybiz dolls in a friend’s house four years ago, she fell in love immediately. Back then she did not know anything about who made the dolls or where they came from. A few months later she came across the dolls in a shop. It was only then that she learned about the non-profit organization Monkeybiz and their amazing work combining arts and empowerment for women from the poorest townships in Cape Town, South Africa. We follow the dolls on a fascinating journey from the township of Khayelitsha to the high-end stores of Donna Karan in New York, to Tromsø, Norway, where Monkeybiz had an exhibition in connection with the 46664 Arctic concert for HIV/AIDS in 2005.
