Maya Angelou and Sweet Honey in the Rock had a hand in putting this film together. The acting and the photography were excellent. I was drawn in to the story line which had several meaningful threads. But basically, the ties of family, drawn together over the generations amidst many difficulties, holding fast to one another was the most important theme. Our world today splits families and relationships so far apart just by the need to survive so often. It is a wonderful reminder to hold fast to those precious to us for as long as we have them. Thank you Hulu for adding this movie to your list. Thank you Miramax for providing it for all of us to view.
