In 1902, a Gullah family on the Sea Islands off South Carolina decide whether to migrate to the mainland, risking their unique cultural heritage.

Julie Dash’s contemporary classic about a community of Gullah people in the early 20th century is a lyrical but harrowing portrait of generational trauma. Told intimately with a non linear story and beautifully framed vignettes and mysticism, I was surprised and saddened to hear that it’s the first film directed by a black woman to receive a wide theatrical release. Equal parts powerful storytelling and a historically significant film makes it well worth watching.
