“Intelligent and observant … It raises much wider issues about the importance of truth and history that extend well beyond the town boundaries of Natchez itself.”
—Eye for Film

“One of the Great Documentaries of the 21st Century – and the 19th Century as well. A stylish and sophisticated look at the Old South … Deliriously enjoyable and enlightening.”
—The Moveable Feast

Welcome to Natchez, Mississippi. With its historic plantations, hoop‑skirted docents, and garden clubs, it can feel like a step back into a lovely world for some, but for others, it’s a painful reminder of the past. Caught between antebellum pageantry showcasing the grand estates of the Old South and the legacy of the Forks of the Road slave market, the town finds itself at a crossroads between two American histories.
