NATCHEZ Short Synopsis:
After generations of showcasing its pre-Civil War mansions and hoop-skirted guides, Natchez, Mississippi, is now reckoning with a romanticized past, an uncertain future, and the debt it owes to the descendants of slavery. A cinematic portrait of a tourist town at a crossroads, NATCHEZ follows an array of historic homeowners, activists, and tour guides as they tell their versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story.
