Synopsis

A poor black girl from St. Louis, the nineteen-year-old Josephine Baker, arrives in Paris in 1925; and with her first appearance in 'La Revue Negre' - wearing only a skirt of feathers - she established herself as an outrageously potent symbol of sexuality and became an international star.
