Gullah-Geechee Documentary - Hilton Head, South Carolina

The Will to Survive: The Story of the Gullah-Geechee Nation
Narrated by Harry Lennix, star of ABC’s “Commander in Chief,” the hour-long documentary of these slave descendants gives us a glimpse of what have been described as the most authentic African-American communities in the United States. The documentary was filmed on Sapelo Island, 16,000 acres of land located 60 miles off the coast of Savannah, Georgia and chronicles the struggles and triumphs of the Gullah and Geechee people, who were first brought from Africa to isolated islands near Georgia, U.S.A.

Once enslaved in the Caribbean and the U.S.A., many African traditions are still alive in today´s Gullah-Geechee culture. The film stars noted historian Dr. Emory Campbell, world-renowned painter Jonathan Green, and Marquetta “Queen Quet” Goodwine. Admission - Donation
Monday, February 4, 7 p.m. at the Coligny Theater, Coligny Plaza
