I heard the true words of ignorance of others cultural backgrounds, as well as mine own. It was a cess pool negative views and unfounded disproof…

In 1997’s film "Soul Food," I was excited to see a movie that didn't represent an American family by typical ruins. "Soul Food" is a triumph because it never loses sight of the importance of family, even as its family members transgress and quarrel.
