Kasi Lemmons discusses her fifth feature film, Harriet, while we take a moment to ponder how a biopic lauding a white woman who invented a mop got made more easily than one about the historical bad ass that was Harriet Tubman.
, Lemmons spoke to the reasoning behind her long hiatus between films. “I’ve spent most of my time in the past 22 years trying to get movies made,” she explained. “I’m very proud that I’ve gotten to make five movies, but I spend 80% of my time trying to get movies made.”, a biopic of American hero Harriet Tubman, came under fire for its depiction of slavery, the choice to cast Cynthia Erivo in the lead role, and the choice to make the big bad a Black slave catcher.
That passion for the spiritual guided Lemmons through the process of selecting where to shoot. Famously, the filming of slave narratives takes place on the same grounds once worked by enslaved Americans. The experience of recreating such a brutal history impacts each crew differently. Lemmons used an assist from the beyond to guide her choices, just like Harriet.
