Family & Friends:
I am pleased to announce my latest & best
win yet for my documentary
film "My Slave Sister Myself". I recently
won the "Best Documentary" award for the Female Eye
Film Festival held in Toronto, Canada. To date,
this is my film's 5th win. It's been shown at numerous
film
festivals both nationally and
internationally. I also won awards for my first
documentary film, "Lest
We Forget" including the 2007 Martha's Vineyard
HBO Film
Festival.
I am available for
film screenings, speaking engagements and for
scheduling the Lest We Forget Traveling Slavery
museum.
or feel free to call me
(215) 205-4324.
Check out the blog below to learn more
about my win and view a trailer of the hip-hop video
that follows my documentary. Young people love it, and
its a great way to introduce them to the subject of
slavery. The full video can be purchased on this
website. Thanks Gwen Raggs

The Lest We Forget
Traveling Slavery Museum includes a cross-section of
authentic slave relics that include shackles, manacles,
branding irons and other forms of iron restraints used
on African human beings. These objects enable viewers to
understand just how different coming to America was for
enslaved Africans who were captured and held in bondage
for hundreds of years. Also included in exhibit are
several Jim
Crow objects that purposely created negative
misconceptions of Blacks and portrayed them
as big-lipped, buffoonish caricatures. The full day
exhibit and presentation also includes a screening of
one of our riveting, award-winning documentary films.
The program ends with Q&A and stimulating dialogue.
Lest We Forget Productions has toured the
country and Caribbean, exhibiting at grammar &
high schools, universities, churches and other major
venues. We have received numerous awards for our
riveting displays and educational films garnering
accolades and several repeat invitations. If you're
interested in scheduling an exhibit contact us for a fee
quote.
