We’re nearing completion of shooting for our pre-production trailer! Azilia Films’ Matt McDaniel sat down to discuss the unique connection Columbus, Georgia and Eufaula, Alabama share with Liberia in West Africa. Matt’s historical research, documented in the book Emigration to Liberia from the Chattahoochee Valley of Georgia and Alabama, 1853-1903 (NewSouth Books or Amazon), will inform our production. Over 500 African-Americans left the Chattahoochee Valley to start new lives in West Africa between 1853 and 1903, the vast majority departing right after the Civil War in 1867 and 1868.
