Film screening Daughters of the Dust

To celebrate BHM, the film and creative writing department are showing films aligned with "Standing Firm in Power and Pride".

Daughters of the Dust (1991) directed by Julie Dash is a dreamlike and impressionistic portrait of three generations of Gullah women on the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina as they plan to move onto the mainland and head north as part of the great migration. Set in 1902, fifty years after the abolition of slavery, this landmark film explores notions of home, identity, culture and family. 

Introduction from Dr Alaina Schempp.
