Abstract

The Pete Peters video collection contains 19 Type C 1-inch one-hour video reels from the never completed documentary entitled Catch the Song, which was written and produced by John Wise. The aim of the project was to document the African roots of the Sea Island Gullah culture. Eventually, SCETV, who was funding the documentary, thought the project was taking too long to complete, and Wise could no longer afford their services.

Dates: 1984-1988
