Trouble in the Water
For years, Gary Simmons has been troubled by the growing emotional distance between him and his African-American kinsmen. He vacillates more and more between the love he s supposed to feel for his people and the alienating affect of their negative – and often embarrassing – behavior and attitudes. He s annoyed to find someone already intruding on the solitude of his early morning walk. Strangely, he seems to resent the intrusion even more when he sees that the other walker is also black.
As Gary slowly gets to know his unwanted walking companion (Chester), he reflects on the alienations of his youth. And, before they part, Chester shares something that helps Gary to transcend the negativity – so that he might reconcile his love for his people.
Inspired by the author s reflections on the Langston Hughes poem, My People.
Screenings of this short film have evoked deep feelings both within and outside the African-American community. It is a “must see” for anyone concerned with race and racial alienation in America.
