Quote:
"Black Mother Black Daughter reached far beyond the Black communities that figure at the centre of the documentary. The audience response to Hamilton's first film was overwhelmingly positive in a number of national and cultural contexts. Over a thousand people attended the opening screenings in Halifax and similarly large numbers were present at screenings in Toronto and other cities across the country; the film was screened at more than forty international film festivals."
