"Invisible Beauty," codirected by Bethann Hardison and Frédéric Tcheng, is a marvelous profile of Hardison, the model, agent and activist, who blazed a trail for models of color. Dubbed "The Godmother of Fashion," Hardison not only worked tirelessly to get non-white models on runways and in magazines, but she also formed a coalition to ensure representation, visibility and accountability in an industry that has a racism problem. Scenes of her mobilizing colleagues to pay attention to the issues of discrimination shows not only her power but also how she commands respect.
"I believed in my industry."
