Epistles of Love, The Gospels According to Edgar & Clara
Description

The 2020 film grant will support "Epistles of Love, The Gospels According to Edgar & Clara," a work-in-progress based on a series of letters exchanged between Edgar Wilson and Clara Moses-Wilson from 1936 to 1939. Through their exchange, we bear witness to the complex intersections of race, health, economics, and the impact that WWI, the Spanish Flu Pandemic, the Great Depression, and the Great Migration had on the lives, love, and marriage of African Americans.
