Filmmakers, both privileged daughters of the South, were haunted by their families' slave-owning pasts, passionately seek the hidden truth and the untold stories of how America — guided by the South's powerful political influence — steadily, deliberately and at times secretly, established white privilege in our institutions, laws, culture and economy.
The Long Shadow presents a startling, unrecognized history that provides much needed context when considering the major issues impacting black/white relations in the United States today. The Long Shadow is a masterful film that captures the disturbing story of the enduring human cost of prejudice and ignorance in the United States that continues to cast a long shadow over our national identity and values and ultimately, our celebrated democracy. Please consider a "watch" parties with family and friends, Thanks You!
