Following the creative writing journey of young spoken word poets from NYC - who are armed with notebooks and video cameras - MYTH OF THE MOTHERLAND intends to give "the mic" to African scholars, writers, poets/griots, entreprenuers and others in order for them to tell their own stories, in their own words. MYTH OF THE MOTHERLAND is fiscally sponsored by IFP and was a 2008 recipient of a NYSCA grant. For more information, please email lisa@governessfilms.com.
