THE LONG SHADOW

SYNOPSIS

From New Orleans to Virginia, Mississippi and Canada, a Southern filmmaker travels the roads of oppression, suppression, and even hope to reveal the connections of slavery and strong-arm Southern politics to the current racial strife in America. “The Long Shadow” is a disturbing story about the lingering human cost of ignorance, intolerance and inaction in the U.S., casting a long shadow over our national identity and imperfect democracy.
