This documentary is the story of two women whose meeting brought together two halves of a whole story: that of slave owner and slave. Dr. Ruth Whitehead and Carmelita Robertson embark on a journey to Charleston, South Carolina, in search of their connection, an undertaking that takes them to a modern South where the Klan is on trial for burning black churches. Beneath the dense foliage of the plantations, in the sweltering heat of white patronage and black forbearance, the two women come to terms with the thunderous cruelty of the past. On container: A film by Lesley Ann Patten. Closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.
