Grandparents Around the World Productions presents Dinner at Grandma's, the story of a young girl growing up in a small American town in South Carolina during the turbulent sixties & seventies. A time of radical change in America, with the US at war in Vietnam, patriotism running high & most Blacks with little reason to celebrate, with racism & discrimination everywhere. Dinner at Grandma's is the story of Grandma Gracie Riley & the lasting effect of a group of elder black women in the South as they find the courage to fight for their rights & the rights of their people, as they gather around the "meeting place," Grandma's dinner table.

FLOYD & starring AUDELCO Award-winning actress DEBBI BLACKWELL COOK as Grandma, Dinner at Grandma's also features Carl Allen, Sophia Loren Coffee, Michael C.
