An inspirational story of survival and transformation, White Shadows profiles Dalee Henderson, a famed celebrity hairstylist who is diagnosed with AIDS and must reconcile himself to the change the disease affects upon his body and mind.

A gay, African American man raised in the rural, segregated south of the 1950’s, Dalee escaped to the West Coast to live life openly and proudly, arriving in Los Angeles in the late ‘70s, where he achieved great professional and personal success working with the likes of Diana Ross, Denzel Washington, Stevie Wonder etc. and amassing a wealth of friends by virtue of his gregarious nature. His life changed when he learned of his HIV status, but his spirit and hope remain, inspiring the people around him.
