The Long Shadow
Looking beyond their privileged Southern upbringing, filmmakers Frances Causey and Sally Holst take on the South in The Long Shadow in order to understand the racial climate of today. This candid and timely documentary reveals the history behind racism neither Causey nor Holst were taught, exposing the prevailing political influence of the South throughout America’s history. What emerges is a disturbing story of power, privilege and prejudice and the human cost of the failure to reconcile our racist rules.
