Plaquemines

Explores the remarkable life and career of Donyale Luna, one of the first Black supermodels who graced the covers of both Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar in Europe.

When Danielle Metz’s triple life sentence was commuted, she got a rare chance to regain the life and family that she’d been dreaming about in prison. But back home in New Orleans, she steps into a different reality. Commuted traces Danielle’s journey to find purpose and love, and to confront the wounds of incarceration that linger after release from prison.

Through the lens of those descended from the "Black Promised Land" we draw a century-long thread, revealing the lingering trauma endured when a thriving Black community is repeatedly targeted for systematic destruction.
