The Drinking Gourd

An optimistic young girl named Sugar finds comfort living on a Southern slave plantation, but her perception of home begins to deteriorate when the master's bitter daughter torments her relentlessly. Searching for a better life, Sugar’s grandmother plots to escape the plantation, but the girl’s infatuation with her home stalls her family’s plan.
