In the wake of the 2015 Charleston Massacre, a battle erupts in Orangeburg, South Carolina, between the Sons of Confederate Veterans and an ice cream shop owner forced to fly the Confederate flag in his parking lot. The film explores the broader role of Confederate symbolism in the twenty-first century and the lingering racial oppression that these symbols help maintain.

Director’s Statement: Emily Harrold

As a native of Orangeburg who grew up driving by that Confederate flag on the corner, I found this story as a stranger-than-fiction way of looking at the issue of Confederate symbolism on a local level. I think with a lot of issues like this, we tend to get into our own echo chambers and often don't interact with viewpoints different than our own. I saw this film as an opportunity to change that. While many scenes are uncomfortable to watch, until we face all sides of this issue we won't be able to bridge the divides that these symbols maintain.
