Gabriel's Daughter the Life and Legacy of Clara Brown (2024)

This delves deep into the heart of Clara's journey looking for her long-lost daughter who was sold away from her at auction. Clara walked along-side a wagon-train as a laundress and cook from Kentucky to the gold mines of Colorado, settling in Central City, where she established a successful laundry business, invested in real estate, gaining her wealth and induction into the Colorado Pioneer Society. Clara helped to populate the African American community, established, and funded several churches, which still exist today. An award-winning ensemble helps recount Clara's journey, as the film travels from a New Jersey recording studio, with opera highlight performances, to historic Colorado locations. The film sheds light on Clara's remarkable resilience, unwavering determination, and the impact she left on those around her. Through intimate interviews, never-before-seen footage, and emotional reenactments, the documentary paints a vivid portrait of Clara's struggles and triumphs.
