About
Diary of an African Nun (1977), directed by Julie Dash, was made during Dash’s studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). A nun in Uganda is consumed by doubt as she prepares to take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Her anguish intensifies night after night as she lies in her convent room and listens to the rhythmic drums of her village. Adapted from a short story by Alice Walker, the film is Julie Dash’s first move toward narrative film making.
