Just received a great holiday gift — the first writeup about the forthcoming Lillian Smith documentary from Atlanta artist/writer Donna Mintz. She and I sat down at my computer to look at a very very rough cut, and she captured the essence of what we’re trying to say in our narrative. Smith’s writings certainly stand on their own. But when you see her work in the context of her life, it can’t help but deepen one’s respect and appreciation for what she did.
