Overview

A documentary film highlighting a former African-American boarding school in South Georgia that went on to play a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement.

This documentary reveals not only seldom-told local history, but significant American history. This film is dedicated to promoting, protecting, and preserving the treasured legacy of a place, a people, and a history that changed the world.
