Daughters Of The Dust
A landmark work of black cinema, Daughters of the Dust is set in 1902 and centers on the Peazants, a multigenerational family descended from enslaved people living on St. Simons island off the Georgia coast. St. Simons is home to the Gullah people and in relative isolation its inhabitants have managed to preserve the traditions of their African cultural heritage. Dash builds a poetic, circular narrative that follows the Peazants as several members of the family prepare to leave the island for economic opportunities on the mainland.
