Daughters Of The Dust

For those of you who don't know, "Daughters of the Dust" is a film chronicling the lives of the Gullah Island decendants. These people were left virtually untouched after being shipped through the middle passage, and as a result, practiced many of the African traditions lost to their Amercan sisters and bothers lost to slavery. They speak a language called "Geechie"

This film is slow, absorbing, and visually beautiful, almost like observing someone else's dream while they're sleeping...
