“Fruit of the Tree is simply one of the most important and positive American stories I have come across in years. It tells the vital story of James Cameron, a man who used a horrific childhood experience at the hands of racism as a catalyst to dedicate his life to helping Americans understand and move beyond racism in our society. Fruit of the Tree engages and empowers the audience with important history, the human drama of everyday life and ultimately great, transformative storytelling. Coming from the production and creative team behind the accomplished and transcendent independent film Gettin’ Grown, Fruit of the Tree is positioned to be made into an entertaining and enlightening film that will move audiences of every age. I sincerely hope that as many Americans as possible will have the chance to one day come to understand this man’s life and wisdom through Fruit of the Tree.”
