Plot
Life is the story of a man getting on in years who is trying his hardest to live every moment to its fullest, honoring the wishes of his departed wife. After a period of mourning, he dives headfirst into the world of fitness and eventually on-line dating. To his surprise, he does very well and hopes that things are only getting started

Plot
In many ways "The Ditchdigger's Daughters" adheres to the well worn path of a genre best described as the black struggle in an injust white America. But the real plot in this movie revolves around the tyranny of a father and the effect it has on his six daughters as he cajoles, demands, blusters, and drives his daughters to reach for his notion of excellence. Demanding all "A" report cards, prohibiting dating, punishing with housework, and insisting that each daughter aim her sights on a career as a doctor all harken to the underlying fact of his own failure to complete school, and his own view of being poor and black.
