Explores the impact of racial division in a small southern town, particularly in relation to the 1946 Moore's Ford Lynching, which is considered the last mass lynching in America. Through the iPhone camera lens of resident Stephanie Calabrese, the film uncovers buried truths and sheds light on the secrecy that still surrounds this tragic event, as well as the ongoing impact of segregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and the integration of schools and society in Monroe, Georgia. Sourced from 40 interviews with fellow residents and extensive research, the film offers a nuanced and complex understanding of the historical factors that have contributed to the racial divide in the town, as well as contemporary challenges that continue to perpetuate it. By bringing these issues to the surface, the film aims to inspire dialog focused on race relations, divisions, and opportunities for reconciliation in hometowns across America. Includes local residents reenacting the lynchings
