MEET THE FAMILY THAT STICKS TOGETHER
Directed by Taylor Dews ( USA 2025, 34:00)
As the nine Lane siblings rummage through memories kept in shoeboxes, kitchen drawers, and photobooks, they discover that their fading Sunday dinner tradition is tied to their family’s involvement in the lesser-known history of Black-American social clubs in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Inspiring the next generation to safeguard a nearly century-old legacy, filmmaker Taylor Dews narrates this nostalgic and heartwarming story for her little cousins. -
