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.

Together they gain a new sense of themselves, address their misconceptions, and grapple with the unity and divisions amongst African communities throughout the world.
