      abstract = {This is the poignant story of two women who discover they  share two halves of a common past in the painful lineage of  slave and slave holder. Carmelita Robertson, a black  graduate student who worked at a museum of natural history  and her co-worker, Dr. Ruth Holmes Whitehead, a white  ethnologist, met for a professional lunch. First they  discovered their joint interest in genealogy, then their  roots in South Carolina, and then, to their dismay, a  strange common thread. Almost certainly, one of Ruth's  ancestors owned one of Carmelita's as a slave. As a result  of this discovery, the pair decide to travel to South  Carolina to unravel their linked heritage. We witness their  journey through pain, resentment, embarrassment and  ultimately acceptance, as each woman, in her own way, comes  to terms with their shared history. A landmark film for  African-American studies, women's history, and Southern  history.},
