Beverly will create a documentary film concerning the aftermath of slavery on both sides of the world. In 2002 she discovered the secret of slavery and plantations in her hometown of Camden, later revealing to the world in a multi-media art exhibition, her images of the Slave Mansion Pomona Hall, which had never been seen before. From this she made a short documentary film and even traveled to Ghana to open up a dialogue with the people there. This part of the project will be a documentary film in which she will highlight our cultural differences as well as what we have in common, serving as her own personal journey as well as the journey of many others. It will be about those conversations we don't want to have, but must: about the umbilical cord being severed forever and what it does to us all.
