Official Trailer for Raoul Peck's North Carolina Doc 'Silver Dollar Road'

"Whatever you do, don't let the White man have my land." Amazon's Prime Video has revealed the official trailer for the new documentary film from acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck, of the docs Fatal Assistance, I Am Not Your Negro, Exterminate All the Brutes. His latest is called Silver Dollar Road, another story about American racism. It's premiering at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival, with screenings at the Camden, Aspen, & Nashville Film Festival as well. A Black family in North Carolina has been harassed for decades by land developers attempting to take their waterfront property. For generations, the North Carolina property known locally as Silver Dollar Road was passed through the hands of an African American family, the Reels. But the Reels family's fortunes changed in the 1970s when developers sought to drive out Black landowners and profit from the real estate. Oscar-nominated director Raoul Peck tells the story of how the Reels battled over several decades to save their land. Based on an article from 2019 about all of this. Looks outstanding, as expected from Peck – a story of never giving up fighting for what is truly yours. A must watch doc trailer. // Continue Reading ›
