    LUNA

    Truly affecting documentary on the first black supermodel. Donyale Luna was a visiting Angel from Heaven with an unearthly exquisite beauty and an unbounded capacity for revolutionary invention.

    Tragically, a completely misunderstood and unappreciated Angel whose innocence was shattered by the forces of evil in the guise of the drug culture of the time.

    How did she die? It's suspicious. Her final husband and his conservative parents may have had something to do with it but that tragic possibility is only hinted at.

    A number of the interviewees cry in this documentary and I cried too. An Angel - too beautiful and unique to stay on this earth for long.
