One Village Entertainment, an entity of RLJ Entertainment (NASDAQ: RLJE), announces the DVD release of the captivating documentary Dark Girls, directed by Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry. Dark Girls will be available on DVD today, Sept. 24, 2013, at an SRP of $14.98. Featured on Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network, it's a film that has everyone talking.

DARK GIRLS is a fascinating and controversial film that goes underneath the surface to explore the prejudices dark-skinned women face throughout the world. It explores the roots of classism, racism and the lack of self-esteem within a segment of cultures that span from America to the most remote corners of the globe. Women share their personal stories, touching on deeply ingrained beliefs and attitudes of society, while allowing generations to heal as they learn to love themselves for who they are.
