HOME - THE DOCUMENTARY -
THE NEW SOUTH - SINCE THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
NAIMAH FULLER, producer/writer/director is an award winning filmmaker of the groundbreaking documentary movie project HOME- THE GREAT MIGRATION OF THE 21ST CENTURY, the first film about the south since the Civil Rights Movement. Fuller connects the historical dots between this current mass migration of African Americans relocating to the "new south", to the Great Migration of the twentieth century, when Black folks fled the Jim Crow South. Four years in the making, Fuller examines the "push-pull" factors behind African Americans moving in mass from cities such as Los Angeles, Oakland, St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, New York City, to relocate to cities like Atlanta, Houston, Charlotte, and other southern cities. The poignant question the documentary begs: Are blacks relocating into the South as a consequence of an insidious urban renewal policy called "gentrification", or is it the manifestation of a shared ethos, a spiritual calling to African Americans to return to their southern roots? Fuller is also at the helm as cinematographer on this historical project. In her signature cinema vérité style, she explores "rust belt" cities of Cleveland, and Detroit, where dramatic economic decline of these once thriving industrial sectors, are influencing the current migration of African Americans relocating en mass. Fuller also took her camera to London where she found similar patterns of change occurring in traditional black British communities, and where many Black Brits have opted to relocate to southern U.S. cities. With principle photography completed, the producer is currently in the first phase of post production, and is researching distribution options.
