Abstract :
Stories in films are often based on social realities in people's lives, embedding messages behind them. Each film is packed with unique characters, events and issues that reflect various aspects of life from a particular perspective. This study aims to identify examples of the principles of black feminism in the main characters and also to analyze how economic and racial factors influence the character's decision in confronting existing injustices depicted in the film ?Set It Off? (1996). The method used by the researcher is a qualitative research method. Data collection is conducted to sort and understand the research topic by using data from scenes, dialogues, words, and phrases obtained from the film. The main theories used in this research are Critical Race theory by Kimberlé Crenshaw and Feminist Economics theory by Marilyn Waring. The findings of this study reveal that the film ?Set It Off? encompasses principles of black feminism such as racial discrimination, sexism and social class which are portrayed by each main character in the film. This study also depicts the influence of economic and racial factors on the character's decisions in confronting existing injustices.
