Now Available: OLD SOUTH
“Beverly unveils the hauntingly present racism still inherent in the Old South, while creating a dichotomy that opens up a space for a much needed conversation.”
– Kristy Brenerman, Programming Director, Atlanta Film Festival
Now Available: OLD SOUTH “Beverly unveils the hauntingly present racism still inherent in the Old South, while creating a dichotomy that opens up a space for a much needed conversation.” – Kristy Brenerman, Programming Director, Atlanta Film Festival With the recent controversy surrounding the SAE fraternity at the the University of Oklahoma, Danielle Beverly’s subtly powerful documentary comes to us at a perfect time. OLD SOUTH, through a quietly unfolding story, provides a window into the underlying dynamics of race relations deeply entrenched in American society and contemporary culture. In Athens, GA, a college fraternity traditionally known to fly the confederate flag moves to a historically black neighborhood. Through the perspective of local resident Hope, OLD SOUTH follows the neighborhood struggle over three years, while both communities fight to preserve their historical legacies against an ever evolving cultural backdrop in the South. As the story develops, the opening of a community garden becomes a location by which the two groups begin to find common ground. Embraced by both the African American community and the Kappa Alpha’s, this garden becomes a grounds for understanding, as well as a physical and emotional space for healing, offering a sense of possibility and hope for the future.
