Homecoming is the first film to explore the rural roots of African American life. It chronicles the generations-old struggle of African Americans for land of their own which pitted them against both the Southern white power structure and the federal agencies responsible for helping them. Director Charlene Gilbert weaves this history together with a fond portrait of her own Georgia farmer family into what she calls, “A story of land and love.” Also stay for a talk by local farmer, Vern Switzer about his experiences.
