| Griot Soul Films "Evolutionary Stories Told By the Folks Who Live Them" Our Mission: Griot Soul Films is a community based film company dedicated to producing complex literary and historical images of African descendants and providing community members tools to do the same. We want to see African descendants throughout the Diaspora exploring out stories. We are interested in lesser told representations, inter-cultural connections, healing, and stories that show growth and inspire people to raise the bar in their lives. What's a Griot? - Pronounced Gree-Oh means in the most simplest terms Storyteller. The Griot holds the stories of the village and maintains the African storytelling tradition. |
