Directed by Ulysses Jenkins • 1991 • United States

The third work of Ulysses Jenkins’s VIDEO GRIOTS TRILOGY—a series of video meditations on history and culture in the which the filmmaker uses archival footage, photographs, image processing, and an elegiac soundtrack to construct an “other” history—THE NOMADICS takes a sweeping overview of peoples from across the world to posit a global identity among people of color.
