This PBS DVD concerns the quiltmakers of Gee's Bend. For more than 150 years, the women of Gee's Bend, Alabama have made quilts reflecting their history and daily lives. Over generations they worked in isolation, continuing to inhabit the remote plantation land their parents once slaved. Today, art critics worldwide compare them to the great creative enclaves of the Italian Renaissance. The Stereo presentation is 60 Minutes on 1 Disc and it is Closed Captioned.
