Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Julie Dash made Daughters of the Dust, the first feature by a Black woman in wide US release. Incognito was her Hollywood 'comeback' — emphasis on the scare quotes.
The film barely screened and has no official streaming release. Most copies circulating are VHS rips. Dash has called it 'the movie they let me make so they could say they tried.'
