How can we not be excited? Our new documentary, the labor of love, the one we made for nothing more than the need to capture it and will to do it, made it to PBS/ETV.

Making a film is a long process. This full-length feature documentary, Bin Yah, from concept to television, took 2 years. And this is really just the beginning. Bin Yah will have an entire life ahead of it, an entire future to navigate, releasing it audiences in a multitude of ways - educating, inspiring, working.

Those of you who have watched the film - we would love your feedback. Please send your thoughts to ChasDOC@gmail.com.

And please buy the DVD - support the future of important, truthful storytelling from the Carolina Lowcountry.

Thank you!

    I really enjoyed this documentary. It was very informative and touching. I would recommend everyone to see this film to learn about the heritage of the Gullad Nations. But I enjoyed it very much.

    I watched this movie tonight with my entire family and we all thought it was one of if not the best programs we have ever seen on SCETV. Thank you for this work and please continue making more.

    I have been moved by the beauty of Gullah culture ever since my experience with the Julie Dash film, “Daughters of the Dust.” It is one of the places I feel a heart connection with, along with the city of New Orleans, LA. My father’s family was from a small area just outside of Atlanta, which I understand is not far from this region.

    I am thoroughly indignant at the disrespect the people of the Gullah community are enduring at the hands of unscrupulous land-grubbers. I would gladly buy the full-length film and share it with my family. This is not my first encounter with this issue. I sent an article to my cousin, who then sent this link to me.

    I was born and raised in Chicago, and right now I live in New York City, for the time being. Please keep us informed. What happens to the Gullah, happens to all of us. This has happened in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, but in the Gullah community it is an even greater culture shock.

    We all will suffer from this infringement.

    I lend my prayers and support …
