Bring Back the Bush: Where Did All the Pubic Hair Go?(2019)

Bring Back the Bush: Where Did All the Pubic Hair Go? is a documentary that follows campaigner Chidera Eggerue as she grows out her pubic hair for the first time in years and displays it in a public exhibition. The film explores how cultural attitudes toward body hair have shifted, examining the pressures—particularly on women—to conform to narrow beauty standards. Through personal narrative and broader social commentary, Eggerue challenges deeply ingrained taboos around the human body and questions why pubic hair has become so stigmatized in contemporary society. The documentary combines intimate storytelling with cultural critique, inviting viewers to reconsider their own assumptions about naturalness, femininity, and bodily autonomy in an age of heavily curated images and unrealistic expectations.
