Daughters of the Dust: Film Review

The 1991 film Daughters of the Dust was written and directed by Julie Dash. This film narrates Gullah women and their family's migration from the mainland's to America. This film can be considered a narrative film, because interestingly it is narrated by a child who is yet to be born.
Honestly, I did not think too much of this film. I did not like it at all. It was very dry, and I did not find it interesting or exciting at all. At times it was difficult to follow the plot of the film and it was also difficult to understand the women's accents at times.
