Angels Can’t Help But Laugh

Actress/filmmaker Terri J. Vaughn sits down with 25 of Hollywood’s African-American actresses to discuss how they deal with being in today’s entertainment industry.  While media floods unrealistic ideas to the general public about these women, this documentary allows viewers a candid, unscripted exposure into the minds and hearts of these actresses. Ms. Vaughn sincerely removes these women from the characters we know, and reveals the essence of the real women.    These actresses open up to talk about their fears, disappointments, successes, families and careers.  They drop pretensions about this industry to unfold basic truths about life.  This gives a glimpse of reality and the real people underneath the illusion. www.angelscanthelpbutlaugh.com
