    Tue, Jun 30 #VirtualBrattle – "Y'Know for the Ki Tue, Jun 30 #VirtualBrattle – "Y'Know for the Kids!" Entry #38: DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST Julie Dash’s remarkable, landmark 1991 film should probably be more of a “Y’Know for the TEENS” selection since many of the themes and techniques will fly over the heads of younger viewers. It is such a rewarding viewing experience, however, that we wanted to make sure and highlight it, especially on its last day for free viewing on the Criterion Channel. The first film widely distributed by a Black woman, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST takes place during the turn of the last century and within a culture that few Americans are aware of – the Gullah people of the islands off of South Carolina and Georgia. Isolated from the mainland, the African roots of the slaves brought to this destination remained strong and, even after the abolition of slavery, they maintained a connection to their ancestors that faded slowly. Set in 1902, the film takes place during the days just before the multi-generational Peazant family are scheduled to leave their island home and head to a supposed new life in the North. Who leaves, who stays, and why are the questions that generate drama in the film – along with many interlocking issues of class, race, education, religion, and more. Dash creates a gently non-linear tapestry that reveals itself slowly over the course of the movie and is rich with material for discussion with your teen (or precocious tween perhaps). The film is rated TV-PG and contains very little objectionable content. Although there are discussions of slavery, rape, and violence that are intrinsic to the narrative threads, none of this is depicted on screen. … Streaming on Criterion, Kanopy; for rent elsewhere #DaughtersOfTheDust #JulieDash #CoraLeeDay #AlvaRogers #Barbarao #TrulaHoosier #UmarAbdurrahamn #Gullah #GullahPeople #SouthCarolina #Georgia
