The Cohen Media Group has sent us the official trailer for the new 2K restoration of director Julie Dash's film Daughters of the Dust (1991). The new restoration will open in cinemas across the nation on November 18.
A Blu-ray release is expected to be announced after the theatrical premiere.
Also included with this announcement is the official new theatrical poster for the 2K restoration of Daughters of the Dust.
Synopsis: At the dawn of the 20th century, a multigenerational family in the Gullah community in the Sea Islands off of South Carolina -- former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors' Yoruba traditions -- suffers a generational split. An older group of sisters return after migrating north to New York with intentions of bringing the rest of their family back across the water to the mainland with them. But, tensions arrive when the newly Americanized sisters view their homeland's way of living as backwards, all while Nana, the family elder who embodies the traditions and folklore of their African roots, is struggling to keep the family together and to pass on the knowledge of their ancestors.
