The film is structured as a series of lessons on cultural organizing, gleaned from Bambara's life and shared by her friends, colleagues and students.
Toni Cade Bambara (1939–1995) was a writer, documentary filmmaker, and activist whose groundbreaking works, including The Black Woman (1970), Gorilla, My Love (1972), and The Salt Eaters (1980), helped define the Black Arts and feminist movements. Her life’s work continues to shape contemporary thought on art, education, and liberation.
