"Daughters of the Dust", Julie Dash's magical debut feature, captures a sad, thrilling moment of transformation for a community of Gullahs, who are the descendants of African slaves who lived on the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. On an August day in 1902, several generations of the Peazant family are preparing to move to the U.S. mainland, bidding farewell to their island home and the vibrant, uniquely African-influenced culture they've succeeded in keeping alive. As the entire family gathers together for potentially the last time, the seemingly joyous occasion is filled with numerous emotions as the pending unknown evokes feelings of doubt, sadness and pride within the clan.

Dash's landmark film Daughters of the Dust was in 1991 the first feature length film helmed by an African American woman to gain a wide theatrical release. It's notable that Dash didn't just direct this elegiac depiction of Gullah Islanders, she also wrote and co-produced it, offering an impeccably rich and nuanced view of a culture that few "outsiders" have ever even known about, let alone experienced.
