Of the films viewed in the second half, the one that impacted me the most is Eve’s Bayou it is a 1997 American drama film written and directed by a female named Kasi Lemmons. The story is told through the eyes of an older; Eve Batiste (Jurnee Smollett) as she reflects on her life, the film then starts off with a ten-year-old girl Eve who lives in a prosperous African American community in Louisiana.

The Bastile family is one that has to learn to overcome and cope; they have to cope with death of Louis and overcome the anger and hate they felt toward each other since
