BE NATURAL: A FILM POEM REVIEW

Movie great Alice Guy-Blaché

made many films back in the day.

“How could she be so long denied

her deserved fame?” film buffs have cried.

Before Hollywood came to be,

Alice was making history.

A trailblazer, she played with sound

and color ways she also found.

Write, direct and producer too.

Special effects she knew how to do.

The first woman to take a chance

doing films, even ones with dance.

And yet her name is not well-known

as Be Natural now has shown.

Why has Alice been so ignored?

This film reveals where truth is stored.
