Very gratifying to hold our private in-person premiere of the film to the Common Good Atlanta community, friends and families.
The next day we received this note from someone at the screening:
"I found myself thinking about something Toni Morrison wrote in "Rootedness." Discussing the goals of her own creative work within novels, Morrison wrote:
'It should be beautiful, and powerful, but it should also work. It should have something in it that enlightens; something in it that opens the door and points the way. Something in it that suggests what the conflicts are, what the problems are.'
I loved the documentary because it was beautiful and because it was powerful, but I also really appreciated how it does the delicate work of opening the door and pointing the way forward."
The film is now being submitted to film festivals and is available for private screenings by groups and organizations.
