The Debutantes background

The Debutantes

Three teenagers, Amelia, Dedra, and Teylar, share their personal journeys through video diaries and dance, exploring their identities, challenging gender norms, and pursuing their aspirations in college, medicine, and business.

An intergenerational group of Black women and girls in Canton, Ohio revitalize the debutante ball, a once popular tradition of the Black middle class. The film follows the first group of Black debutantes in over a decade as they prepare for their formal debut to society.
