This mesmerizing and lyrical story transports us to a beautiful island off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina circa 1902. It’s here that several generations of a close-knit family celebrate their African heritage while preparing for migration to the mainland. A rich, beautiful fable about the modern history of African American identity, <i>Daughters of the Dust</i> is one of the most affecting achievements of ‘90s cinema that has inspired generations of new work, including Beyoncé’s famous Lemonade music film, in which Stenberg appears.</div>PT2H2026-06-17JUNETEENTH SCREENING: DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST WITH AMANDLA STENBERG"JUNETEENTH SCREENING: DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST WITH AMANDLA STENBERG"
