South

Streaming video - 1999

Chantal Akerman's SOUTH explores the aftereffects of a racially motivated killing that revealed the intense hate that still lies just beneath the surface of American society. Patient interviews reveal the thoughts and emotions of the local townspeople. Akerman's access to their lives, including being allowed to film Byrd's funeral, allows her to tell the tale in a pensive and beautiful fashion.
