NATCHEZ
by Suzannah Herbert

87' | English〡USA
In a small Mississippi town, an hour from a major highway, the Old South still lives. Home to the nation’s largest collection of intact antebellum homes (before the civil war), the white homeowners of Natchez bring in tourists by showing off their gilded treasures set in a Lost Cause narrative. Facing a cultural and demographic shift, will they evolve to meet the times? In NATCHEZ, a haunting, Southern gothic collection of historic homeowners, activists, and park rangers tell their version of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story.
