Fort Mill, SC

The documentary film “The Road to Paradise” 'A quest for enlightenment' is an inspiring portrait of the rich cultural history of the rural American south. The film is based on historical accounts of the origins of a small Black community passionately known as Paradise. This story follows six generations of Black citizens starting with emancipated slaves and ends with public school desegregation of the 1960's. It explores the much forgotten contributions of former slaves and their quest for knowledge. It also examines the social, economic and political challenges each generation faced during this 100 year period.

This project is an incredible opportunity to commemorate the end of the Civil War and emancipation and highlights various aspects of a community’s quest to assimilate during this turbulent period.

This project has many moving parts. Currently, we are focused on conducting interviews and establishing the basic storyline. The camera and audio equipment issues are working out great and plans are on the way to create a screenplay/re-enactment of daily life in this small southern town.

I want to thank those of you who have contributed to the making of this film and hope that you will continue to support me in this important work.
