"The Long Shadow" International Workers Day

International Workers Day. Of all the divisions in America, none is as insidious and destructive as racism. In this powerful documentary, the filmmakers, both privileged daughters of the South who 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. Part of the 18th annual Reel Work Labor Film Festival.
