The new film project is funded by 18th Street Arts, Creative Corp, and the California Arts Council. Shot in Northern California the story follows two African Americans who arrived in California around 1852 hoping to find gold and improve their lives. During their journey, they meet up with a Mexican couple who warn them about what the Yankees are capable of as they mourn the loss of their former land. They also meet up with a Chinese woman whose main business during the gold rush is pimping her young prostitutes but who is also a skilled herbalist. They have run-ins with other miners when they come to the aid of two Native Americans who were being mistreated by two Anglo miners only to find out that the Natives appreciated their help but also wished them to return to wherever they came from. Their time in the gold fields is met with disappointments and rewards and if I read the script correctly I think at least one of them makes it out alive…
