Bin Yah

ChasDoc Film Society's documentary Bin Yah explores the potential loss of important African-American communities in Mt. Pleasant, SC due to growth and development. Through the testimonies of the residents themselves, the film explores the culture, the history and the importance of land and the concept of home, giving voice to those who seldom have had a chance to be heard.

IN MEMORY - The Reverend Victoria Glover Washington, featured in the film, passed away on June 24, 2010.  She was 95 years old.  Her generosity of spirit and heartfelt contributions to BIN YAH, for which the filmmakers are extremely grateful, will always be remembered.  Through her words and memories the history and culture of Gullah communities in Mt. Pleasant and throughout the Lowcountry will live on.

Can someone please let me know when Bin Yah will air again. My husband also grew up in Mt. Pleasant and he did not get a chance to see it. Thank you.

Having grown up in Mt. Pleasant and having resided there until 8 years ago, Bin Yah had a profound impact on me. I recognized some of these people, their houses, the areas to which they refer, etc. It breaks my heart that, in the name of progress, all these irreplaceable people, land, histories, and stories are being destroyed. I'm not proud of Mt. Pleasant and the direction it has and continues to take.
