Spit on the Broom is a surrealist film that explores the United Order of Tents, a clandestine organization of black women organized in the 1840s during the height of the Underground Railroad. Out of respect for the group's continued secrecy, the film is structured around excerpts from the public record, newspaper articles related to the Tents from over the course of 100 years, and a visual tapestry of fable and myth as a way to introduce a history that remains secret.
