WINNER - Audience Choice - Langston Hughes African American Film Festival
A pair of independent filmmakers, on a whim, set out to learn more about the little known, "worse recorded Race Riot in American History," the 1921 Tulsa Oklahoma Race Riot. They were struck by the amazing complexity of suck a "simple" place. They set out to tell the story of a city and a riot. But we were told the story of a place that is a pure reflection of America.
This documentary is more than the a view of the 1921 race riot. It is an analysis of social economic, religious and human ethics yet investigated. The residents of Tulsa guide you through the evolution, and lack their of, of their city. Religious leaders, an attorney, a city councilman, a community activist, and an educator, guide you through this seething examination of the socio-economic and racial paradoxes of America. (57 minutes, 2010)
