Down in the Delta (Miramax) marks Maya Angelou's debut as a feature film director—and her work is strong and convincing. The sturdy screenplay by Myron Goble depicts the subtle yet very realistic ways in which the protagonist's life is turned around and renewed through her exploration of family roots and the legacy of her ancestors. The film also celebrates the spiritual possibility of transformation and the truth that every family has a potential for resiliency and growth, no matter what the problems.
