- THE LANGUAGE YOU CRY IN tells an amazing scholarly detective story that searches for, and finds meaningful links between African Americans and their ancestral past. It bridges hundreds of years and thousands of miles from the Gullah people of present-day Georgia back to 18th century Sierra Leone. It recounts the even more remarkable saga of how African Americans have retained links with their African past through the horrors of the middle passage, slavery and segregation. The film dramatically demonstrates the contribution of contemporary scholarship to restoring what narrator Vertamae Grosvenor calls the "non-history" imposed on African Americans: "This is a story of memory, how the memory of a family was pieced together through a song with legendary powers to connect those who sang it with their roots."
- Guatemala, 1996. We entered into a guerrilla camp to film the documentary "The Word of the Guerrilla". We witnessed how they took a police headquarters, we filmed their lives in the camp. We interviewed the guerrilla fighters in a critical moment in Guatemala's History. Several months later a Peace Agreement was signed. Today we've returned to Central America to look for this same people, to hear their voices again and to know what has happened to the lives of those guerrilla fighters along all those years. Where are the motivations and the ideals that made them take up arms. Where are their illusions and hopes of a better life. Lives before and after peace.
