Now that you’ve seen the Netflix release of “Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker,” check out the definitive documentary on her life from filmmaker Stanley Nelson.
Two Dollars and a Dream, Nelson’s first film in 1989, kicks off the WORLD Channel’s new initiative bringing original content to its YouTube Channel beginning today, March 31, and will be dedicated to telling stories reflecting the mosaic of America and the global community.
Nelson is the grandson of the late Freeman B. Ransom, the General Manager and attorney of Walker’s hair-product company and played in the Netflix film by Kevin Carroll. The family relation allowed Nelson access to company records and former employees, allowing him to provide an intimate look at Walker’s rise to success.
