Before The Trees Was Strange

Before The Trees Was Strange

Our mother's love for us was unconditional. But sometimes love is blind.

2016 · 86 min · Documentary, Family

Before the Trees Was Strange, is a personal documentary, a journey of race and identity through a desire to unlock a mystery within my family. I produced, shot and directed this film. I began shooting 30 years ago and ended up with over 700 hours of footage that was distilled into 85 minutes. This film is about race, love and forgiveness and finally redemption as I explore my Mother's questions about her own heritage and I go on a journey to find the truth that was kept away from us.
