Black to Our Roots (2008, 57 min) Living in a housing project in Atlanta, GA, 17-year-old Sylvia Dorsey is frustrated by the violence and drug abuse that surrounds her. Determined to transcend this environment, she finds herself on a soul-searching mission as she travels with a group of other Atlanta youth to Ghana. Together they gain a new sense of themselves, address their misconceptions, and grapple with the unity and divisions amongst African communities throughout the world.
