LOGLINE: When a double dutcher’s religious father forces her to get married, she enlists her friends and fiancé to stop the wedding and free her older sister whose soul is trapped on their father’s land.

Sister Salad Days is a magical realist narrative short that explores Black sisterhood, gendered and religious ideas of marital obligation, and the interpersonal harm that is caused in the pursuit of piety.

This is a film about promise-keeping among Black women, living vestiges of the past, and one woman’s desire to build a self-determined life in the Atlanta ethnoburbs.

The project was made with the support of the Visionary Justice Lab in Atlanta, Kashif Incubator, and Guerilla Gear.
