Gumbo (2018)

Filmmaker Alyssa Rachelle grew up eating gumbo (with shrimp, sausage, crab and no okra). It's the love for this most debated southern dish that led her to explore the details of gumbo including the basic components, its historical and cultural implications and the various types of gumbo. This film includes gumbo enthusiasts who share their preparation often influenced by family recipes passed down from generation to generation. Historians are interviewed to provide insight on the geographical impact and the early beginnings of gumbo.
