About this submission

Uncle Preston breathes life into family's oral history — stories passed down through generations. This film immortalizes these stories with moving images and narration, offering a glimpse into the life of Grand Master Preston F. Carter, my great-great uncle. Told from my grandmother's perspective, "The Matriarch," the story unfolds as she shares her uncle's legacy, who became the first Black man to acquire a 10th Dan in Karate. While this film is a dramatization, the stories are true and are an offering to my ancestors, whose legacy empowers generations. Uncle Preston's story is one of passion, resilience, and power!
