Summer 2017, a string of brutal police killings of young African American men has sent shockwaves throughout the country. A Black community in the American South tries to cope with the lingering effects of the past and navigate their place in a country that is not on their side.

From Texas to the swamps of Louisiana, Roberto Minervini has made his name as a formally adventurous chronicler of the forgotten communities of the U.S. South. Powerfully intimate and sociopolitically urgent, this New Orleans-set documentary is a striking portrait of community and racism in America.
