Preview – “Brownstones To Red Dirt” (Pan Africanism At Work)
The story goes…
A group of students from Brooklyn housing projects are paired with pen pals from Sierra Leone, orphans from that country’s brutal civil war. The two groups of students begin to share everything, from favorite colors and sibling rivalries, to grief over the current circumstances of their lives. Their simple written connection shows them that even if they can’t count on the world they live in, they can count on each other.
Brownstones To Red Dirt is “a tender and inspiring tale that demonstrates the power of intimate friendship.”
Currently on the film festival circuit… no word on distribution.
