About the film
Women all over the world are ditching the dye and celebrating their gray hair. International makeup and hair artists Ilise Harris explores this defining moment in fashion and beauty history; a shift accelerated by the pandemic, and a passionate online community called Silver Sisters.
The film serves as an anchor to a bigger conversation around ageing, health, visibility and beauty. This heartwarming and entertaining film lands us firmly at the crossroads where feminism disrupts sexism and ageism, heralding a new age of female empowerment.

What people are saying
‘I've seen a lot of wonderful films, but this one changed me.‘
Fran Maier, Co-Founder Match.com and BabyQuip CEO
‘What I love about Ilise's film is that while it's about hair on a surface level, it is ultimately a movie about choice; who gets to decide what women look like? Why not us? 'Your Roots Are Showing' encourages women to take ownership of we look and through whose gaze.‘
Brooke Berman, writer/director "Ramona at Midlife"
‘YRAS was an audience favorite at our MEA film fest because it poignantly and passionately portrays women taking their power back in a culture that is ageist and lookist. I loved it!‘
Chip Conley
‘OMG!! Brilliant Ilise! You've created a documentary that serves history and women's liberation, and that's no small feat.‘
Donna DeMari, Fashion and Equine photographer/filmmaker
