Welcome
to the Official site for Julie Dash's DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST.
The Newark Black Film Festival has chosen Daughters as the Film
of The Century while the British
Film Institute's Sight
and Sound Magazine chose the soundtrack
as one of the best in the past 25 years.
We are in the process of re-designing
the site to provide you with more info about Daughters and the work
of Julie Dash. The site was initially established in 1995 and we
are tooling up to provide you will a site worthy of the New Millenium.
Keep watching for our new additions
