Gina's Journey: The Search for William Grimes

An African-American woman's search through family genealogy records reveals she is the descendant of the first slave narrator in US history. With no higher education and very little work experience as a result of being a stay at home mother, Gina works hard to become a respected published author herself.

This is a very inspiring story. Completely relevant to everything that's going on today. It's narrated by David Keith, a well known voice actor. It will do well and is definitely a contender for winning an award. This film should get picked up by and shown on PBS. There are many people interested in genealogy these days and of course there isn't a more important story in American History, than that of the first slave narrator. I can say that with complete confidence. It doesn't feel like a typical cinema movie, but we would be foolish not to select this one for viewing at the festival. Highest recommendation.
