Movies with a Mission: “Banished: An Investigation into Ethnic Cleansing in Post-Reconstruction America”

How did three U.S. towns make African Americans disappear?  Marco Williams, award-winning filmmaker of Two Towns of Jasper, visits some of the whitest counties in the country to confront the legacy of "banishment" – a wave of racial purging that tore through the South 100 years ago.  Williams sits down with Ku Klux Klan leaders, white residents of these all-white communities, as well as descendants of the banished alike, opening the wounds of history.  Will he help these communities heal?  Is reconciliation or any form of reparation possible?  (89 minutes)
