Six documentaries by black film-makers.
1: In Search of the Spirit of a Storyteller
The first in a new series of Ebony documentaries traces the life and work of Jamaican painter, sculptor and author Namba Roy as seen through the eyes of his son, Tamba. Namba Roy, descendant of slaves brought to Jamaica from the Congo, spent much of his life in the Maroon village of Accompong. He learned much of his art from his grandfather who instilled in him the folklore of Africa. He died in 1961 when his son was only 2 years old.
Now Tamba Roy returns to
Jamaica, to the village where his father lived, to the people who knew him.
This is Tamba Roy 's personal odyssey in search of the spirit of a storyteller.
