About this title
A rebuttal to the Ntozake Shange play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf, which inferred that Black men were the cause of their women considering suicide. My film takes the position that everyone is ultimately responsible for him or herself, and women, just as men, can be the cause of a relationship's breakup. The film's structure is similar to a television commercial, but unlike a commercial, the actor sells a point of view rather than a product.
