From award-winning photographer and filmmaker RaMell Ross comes one of the year’s most talked about documentaries. Made over the course of five years in Alabama, Ross follows the rural life of two young African American men, Quincy and Daniel as they come up against ordinary and uncommon odds. An artistic triumph that seeks to shift our understanding and challenge how we create images of people, Ross’s radical stylistic approach finds poetry in the quotidian, crafting a new way of seeing and experiencing the heat and the hearts of people in the Black Belt region of the U.S.
