This is a really AWESOME film!!!! It airs on PBS. I think maybe it won an Emmy in 2005. How many other broadcasters these days actually bother to show or make films about poor Southern African-American and their lives and importance to American history. This filmmaker obviously had excellent access and entered a world most Americans will never see. It's incredible to see how these women's lives changed because the museums finally decided their work is art. Actually this was not the film accompanying the museum tour. This one's totally different. I think maybe that other reviewer commented on the wrong film. Boring? No way. Man this is real documentary film-making that makes a difference--not just some non-reality TV show.
