Nearly 30 years ago, Daughters of the Dust ruptured the fixed line of film history. It was the first film directed by a Black woman to see theatrical distribution in the United States. It fit neither the Black history Hollywood co-opted, nor the modern Black story they allowed (urban peril). Daughters of the Dust portrayed a day in the life of the Gullah-Geechee community off the coast of South Carolina through their circular perception of time, a past, present and future that runs concurrently. Nana Peazant, the old matriarch, urges her successors to cling to their roots, to hang on to her, as each body holds both “the last of the old and the first of the new.” The younger generations plan to run up the river north, leaving behind Ibo Landing, home to centuries of their ancestors. An unborn child narrates from the future and dawdles through the present day,...

MGM apparently has released Vol1 along with Vol2 of their Women of Color set simultaneously. At first had searched about to even find it elsewhere and it would seem only to show up on Amazon’s website. It may appear at other locations such as Target and Walmart. Upon this new line-up the surprise entry is Holiday Heart. Surprise not due to that fact that one of the women of color on the box is actually Ving Rhames but mostly because this was a made for TV film. This now opens up the flood gates to what can be represented in future volumes. Would be nice to see Julie Dash’s Funny Valentines on a set as it was a great made for TV feature but sadly is not an MGM film so don’t expect to see that one.
