New ‘Gullah Roots’ documentary will be screened on SCETV and at drive-in
Mount Pleasant basket weaver Nakia Wigfall makes sweetgrass baskets with people in Sierra Leone. The scene is featured in the “Gullah Roots” documentary, which will premiere on SCETV on Thursday, Oct. 1.
An upcoming documentary on SCETV that follows members of the Lowcountry Gullah-Geechee community as they experience a homecoming in Sierra Leone will be screened at a special drive-in event in Beaufort.
The hourlong documentary, “Gullah Roots,” delves into the ties between spirituality, music, art and culture between the South Carolina Sea Islands and Sierra Leone, from sweetgrass basket weaving to passed-down spirituals and traditions.
These ties exist because members of the Gullah-Geechee community descend from enslaved people who were captured in West Africa and forced to work on Lowcountry plantations.
The documented trip to Sierra Leone for “Gullah Roots” took place last winter and included Gullah-Geechee scholars, performers and cultural ambassadors, such as Anita Singleton Prather, also known as “Aunt Pearlie Sue” of the Gullah Kinfolk; Ron and Natalie Daise of “Gullah Gullah Island;” and Victoria Smalls, a commissioner of the Gullah-Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor.
