Following a multi-generational family of the Gullah community – descendants of West African slaves who have preserved and retained many of their ancestors鈥� Yoruba traditions – the film explores the community's struggle to maintain their cultural heritage. As the first wide release by a Black woman filmmaker, Julie Dash鈥檚 Daughters of the Dust was met with critical acclaim and rapturous audience response.
For those who know their pop culture, Daughters of the Dust was the inspiration for Beyonce鈥檚 visual album, Lemonade.
After the film, join us for a panel discussion featuring Meleisa Ono-George, Kathryn Medien and Akwugo Emejulu.
