Descendant | SXSW 2022 Live Studio

Описание: Take a deep dive into SXSW with our Live Studio Interviews, where conversations go beyond the boundaries of sessions, showcases and screenings.

Documentary filmmaker Margaret Brown (“The Order of Myths", “The Great Invisible”) stops inside the studio to give a glimpse in her documentary, Descendant. In the doc, Brown returns to her hometown of Mobile, Alabama to document the search for and historic discovery of The Clotilda, the last known ship to arrive in the United States, illegally carrying enslaved Africans. After a century of secrecy and speculation, the 2019 discovery of the ship turns attention toward the descendant community of Africatown and presents a moving portrait of a community actively grappling with and fighting to preserve their heritage while examining what justice looks like today.
