In addition to her passion for cinema, Bowser was also an historian of Black American cuisine, writing a food column for Tuesday Magazine that culminated in her 1970 cookbook A Pinch of Soul. This program looks at the filmmaker’s work at the intersection of film and food and features some of her other appearances on camera, including a segment produced by Bowser originally to be aired on the seminal public affairs television program Like It Is.
Featuring an introduction by Jimmie Mannas and Gillian Bowser.
