Composed of intimate and unencumbered moments of people in a community, Hale County, This Morning, This Evening allows the viewer an emotive impression of the Historic South – trumpeting the beauty of life and consequences of the social construction of race, while simultaneously a testament to dreaming – despite the odds. An incredibly lyrical work, photographer and filmmaker RaMell Ross boldly ruptures racist aesthetic frameworks that have historically constricted the expression of African American men on film.
Hale County, This Morning, This Evening will screen on general release from Fri 18 Jan.
