The Long Shadow

When filmmaker and investigative journalist Frances Causey, a daughter of the South, set out to explore the continuing racial divisions in the US, what she discovered was that the politics of slavery didn't end with the Civil War. In an astonishingly candid look at the United States' original sin, The Long Shadow traces slavery's history from America's founding up through its insidious ties to racism today.

My take

A sobering, unflinching exploration of how slavery's legacy continues to shape America today. This is the kind of documentary that demands your full attention—challenging, necessary, and impossible to look away from.
