Racist Trees
"Racist Trees", a feature-length documentary, investigates the timely story of racial conflict in an unlikely, liberal pocket of America, uncovering an even darker racist history that few would equate with the city’s progressive image. An intimate, sobering, and at times humorous look at the intersection of local politics, news media, race, class, gentrification, and social justice, "Racist Trees" reveals a microcosm of racial tension that continues to percolate across the country today.
