Zora Neale Hurston: Claiming A Space
Raised in the all-black Florida town of Eatonville, Zora Neale Hurston became a defining voice of the Harlem Renaissance. This film follows her journey from the segregated South to New York and her groundbreaking work as a writer and anthropologist. It explores the brilliance and neglect that marked her life, and the rediscovery that secured her place in American letters. Illuminating and overdue, it reclaims the space she fought to occupy.
