Crooked Trees Gon Give Me Wings (2022)
Savannah’s moss-covered forests, with all its whispering winds and enchanted branches, are alive to little Bertie Bee Hooks, the gifted granddaughter of an experienced midwife. As she absorbs the wisdom of folk medicine, Bertie Bee will work with her mystical connection to the spirit world as she becomes exposed to the tragedies of a wounded American past.
Director: Cara Lawson
