DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST: Julie Dash's Daughters of the Dust, a rapturous vision of black womanhood and vanishing ways of life in the turn-of-the-century South, was the first film directed by an African-American woman to receive a wide release. Awash in gorgeously poetic, sun-dappled images at once dreamlike and precise, Daughters of the Dust forges a radical new visual language rooted in black femininity and the rituals of Gullah culture.

Daughters of the Dust
