Directed by acclaimed photographer Gillian Laub and executive-produced by John Legend, Troy Carter and Mike Jackson, the 90-minute documentary examines race relations, a segregated prom, politics and the killing of an unarmed young black man, Justin Patterson, that will forever bind the residents of Montgomery County and Toombs County in Southeast Georgia together.
