MEETING DAVID WILSON is a feature length documentary film that tells of the enduring legacy of slavery in today's young black society through the life and perspective of David Wilson of Newark, NJ. In a quest to find answers to America's racial divide, the 28-year-old African-American journalist looks to his family's past. Along the way he meets the descendant of his ancestors' slave master - another David Wilson, a 62-yr-old white man from North Carolina. This discovery leads to a momentous encounter between these two men of the same name but whose ancestors were on the opposite sides of freedom. This film promises to touch on many third rail issues concerning race, including topics such as reparations but it is ultimately about reconciliation and healing.Find out more at meetingdavidwilson.com
