Daughters of the Dust (1991)
Julie Dash · 112m · DCP

Writer and director Julie Dash’s masterpiece Daughters of the Dust juxtaposes the generational lives of a Gullah family on the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina. This beautifully shot film defies the boundaries of time to capture history, memory, and the future’s possibilities as the family struggles with changes in tradition. A project from the filmmakers of the L.A. Rebellion, this film is an underrated gem of American cinema.
