About Crooked Trees Gon Give Me Wings
Savannah’s moss-covered forests, with all its whispering winds and enchanted branches, are alive to little Bertie Bee Hooks, the gifted granddaughter of an experienced midwife. As she absorbs the wisdom of folk medicine, Bertie Bee will work with her mystical connection to the spirit world as she becomes exposed to the tragedies of a wounded American past.
Directed by Cara Lawson, Crooked Trees Gon Give Me Wings leans on a strong ensemble — Nia-Marie Mwangi, Monifa Lemons Jackson, Carle Atwater — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 2022.
