The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
Directed by John Korty
Produced by Tomorrow Entertainment
A sweeping, intimate portrait of one woman's century-long journey through slavery, freedom, and the ongoing struggle for racial justice in the American South.
In February, 1962, as the civil rights movement reaches Bayonne, Louisiana, a New York journalist arrives to interview Jane Pittman, who has just turned 110. She tells him her story dating back to her earliest memories before slavery ended. In between the chapters of her life, the present-day struggles of Blacks in Bayonne, urged on by Jimmy, are dramatized.
