Synopsis:
This hit domestic comedy-drama concerned the fortunes of an extended
African-American family recalled through the eyes of young narrator Ahmad
(Brandon Hammond). Ahmad's world revolves around his grandmother, Big Mama
Joseph (Irma P. Hall) and her three daughters: workaholic attorney Teri (Vanessa
Williams), newlywed salon owner Bird (Nia Long), and Ahmad's housewife mom,
Maxine (Vivica A. Fox). Each sister is in turmoil. Teri has lost patience for
her husband Miles (Michael Beach), who wants to quit the law and take up music.
Bird doesn't realize that her husband Lem (Mekhi Phifer) is about to be
humiliated by her ex-boyfriend (Mel Jackson). And while Maxine's relationship
with her husband Kenny (Jeffrey D. Sams) is going well, her relationship with
her jealous sister Teri needs fixing. These conflicts boil over at Big Mama's
traditional Sunday dinners, where the matriarch plays peacemaker. The ritual
faces extinction, however, when Big Mama suffers a stroke -- but Ahmad is
waiting in the wings to take her place. Soul Food launched the directing career
of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, native George Tillman, Jr., who based the script on his
own family experiences. In the summer of 2000, Soul Food was spun off into a
cable TV series.
