Artist Gold "Art Genius" Documentary Film

This is a clip from a documentary film about a folk lore artist named "Artist Gold" that does wood carvings based on Biblical themes. This art form was used during slavery times to communicate amongst the slaves. Being how they could not read or write at the time, their carvings told stories, provided survival information, and documented history for future generations.

We follow "Artist Gold" as he experiences upscale art galleries and patrons for the first time. His journey will make you laugh make you cry and will inspire you. This is definitely a feel good film.
