About This Item
At the dawn of the 20th century, a multi-generational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina - former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors' Yoruba traditions - struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. Cohen Media Group is proud to present the 25th anniversary restoration of director Julie Dash's landmark film InchDaughters of the Dust.Inch The first wide by a black female filmmaker, InchDaughters of the DustInch was met with wild critical acclaim and rapturous audience response when it initially opened in 1991. Casting a long legacy, InchDaughters of the DustInch still resonates today, most recently as a major in influence on Beyoncé's video album InchLemonade.Inch Restored (in conjunction with UCLA) for the first time with proper color grading overseen by cinematographer AJ Jafa, audiences will finally see the film exactly as Julie Dash intended.
