    Hello -
    I am a filmmaker in Atlanta. I read your latest blog with the mention of Edna Lewis.

    I just wanted to let you know I produced a 21 minute documentary about Miss Edna Lewis and its viewable in its entirety on Internet at a Gourmet Magazine website:

    http://www.gourmet.com/magazine/video/2008/01/Edna

    and at a Georgia Public Broadcasting website:

    http://www.cforty7.com/film/theater?film_test=16

    My documentary is called Fried Chicken and Sweet Potato Pie.

    My website, http://bbarash.com/bb_friedchicken.htm has more information about the film and the story of Miss Lewis.

    Sincerely,
    Bailey Barash
