Of all the divisions in America, none is as insidious and destructive as racism. In this powerful documentary, the filmmakers, both privileged daughters of the South, who were haunted by their families slave owning pasts, passionately seek the hidden truth and the untold stories of how America - guided by the South's powerful political influence - steadily, deliberately and at times secretly, established white privilege in our institutions, laws, culture and economy. By telling individual stories - of free, enterprising blacks in Canada; of a modern, racially motivated shooting - the filmmakers movingly personalize the costs and the stakes of our continued inaction. The Long Shadow presents a startling, unrecognized history that provides much needed context when considering the major issues impacting black/white relations in the United States today.
