The way Goff deploys these archival images bears reminders of Zora Neale Hurston’s “Fieldworks” without the anthropological ends. Footage of a ’50s high school football game, in particular, is joyous and haunting, as editor Blair McClendon juxtaposes the gleeful crowds and cheerleaders to a former player recounting a post-game warning of the KKK meeting in a nearby cemetery. A tapestry of home videos and stunning black and white footage recalls church services and household gatherings. The area has fed Goff’s people, it’s housed their caskets, and has offered places of worship and celebration. The lens hugs the long grass, the furrows of mud and the deep, murky water with warmth of kinfolk. “After Sherman” isn’t a documentary composed of bland, sweeping drone shots of the Southern terrain. That excavation begins in the camera’s relationship with the land. Similar to those Black folks, he’s trying to define what home means as he lives in 150-year old wake of slavery, a practice that violently ripped Black folks from their birthplaces and families. Despite arriving in the north decades later, Goff is a product of the Great Migration’s legacy. Hailing from Connecticut, the director is wistful for his father’s birthplace in South Carolina, where the younger Goff often spent his summers. Still, no matter where we go, the place we call home is always influenced by our past. We are where we’ve come from, but we become where we choose. The subtle yet poignant difference between the two locales instigates the friction of this cinematic journey. “There is a birthplace and there is a home place,” explains Goff’s father, the Reverend Norvel Goff Sr. It’s a meditative work, a film that can often descend down rabbit holes without a clear path out, but whose explorations unearth far more than it leaves buried. In the lush documentary “ After Sherman,” a piercing personal essay by Jon-Sesrie Goff, the director patches through time by speaking with his father, friends, and neighbors to tell the history of the Gullah Geechee community.
