Contents/Summary
- Summary
- In 1920 there were nearly one million black farmers in America; in 1999 there are less than 18,000. The filmmaker travels to present day Georgia, the place she calls home, where her cousin, Warren James proudly continues to farm the family's land. Gilbert tells the compelling and epic tale of her family while she investigates the social and political implications of African-American land loss in the South. The film draws on the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement, which is intertwined with the history of black farmers and is a requiem for a way of life that has almost disappeared.
