Living Off the Line: Stories from The Clothesline Muse is a feature-length documentary about the making of a play, and the wealth of cultural experiences and wisdom generated by centuries of African-American women who made a living by taking in the wash. It will capture what may be the only testimony from washerwomen who are currently in their 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s who speak to the strength of a community, and the tragedy inherent in devaluing those who are the least of us.
