A beautifully layered, very moving exploration of the coastal Carolinas' Gullah culture.

New York Times

A quietly plaintive score by the composer Tamar-kali provides rooted resonance to this investigative and intimate work of belonging.

Craig D. Lindsey

Crooked Marquee

Considering how the film is mainly about how easily Black history can be buried, forgotten, destroyed or literally steamrolled over, its unfocused, scattered tone may be intentional. Both the film and its audience are looking for answers.

Rated: B
