Natchez takes a sharp look at the American South’s unresolved history through the story of Natchez, Mississippi, a town where antebellum tourism exists alongside ongoing debates about how the past is remembered. The film follows an array of historic homeowners, activists, and tour guides as they share their versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story. 

Consider this documentary film if you are exploring the topics of racism, the Civil War, the American South, and Black history.
