Not finding her cinematic sisters in Hollywood, Welbon set out to find them outside of the system. This documentary profiles that history from Zora Neale Hurston\u2019s ethnographic films in the 1920\u2019s to contemporary makers such as Euzhan Palcy, Julie Dash, Cheryl Dunye &amp; Maya Angelou. In addition to her production and research work, Welbon has successfully self-distributed all her films, becoming a noted resource on the subject.
