Good grief for "Good Hair"


A judge has ruled Chris Rock's documentary "Good Hair" can open nationwide despite an injuction sought by filmmaker Regina Kimball. Kimball maintains Rock's film drew inspiration from her film and copied aspects of her own documentary "My Nappy Roots". A judge in the case said she viewed both films and concluded they have different target audiences and portions do not seem to be similar at all. Kimball can still move forward with her lawsuit for copyright infringement and unfair competition. Kimball is seeking $5 million in damages.
