Urgent, if sometimes muddled, Southern Rites is a powerful look at the entrenched racism of the Deep South. Go to Full Review

pj m 07/13/2022 Would love to see an update about this town. See more greg r @itsgregsworld 12/27/2015 Awful documentary by a racist filmmaker. See more 06/27/2015 Not quite as focused as some of HBO's other documentaries but still sheds light on the ruin of society that is the south. See more 06/13/2015 Southern rural small town Georgia where they still had segregated high school proms until 2011. Shows the racial polarity as it still exists as exposed by the shooting of a black teen by an old white man in the midst of a close sheriff's race by the black chief of police for the county's biggest town. There's alot more nuance & liberal thinking than first appears at the begining of the show, but, really, 1yr for murder of a late night booty call perp still seems to favor white sensibilities over black justice. See more 05/24/2015 2 very interesting & intertwined story lines about racism in South Georgia. Available on HBO. See more 05/21/2015 Powerful. Relevant. Resonant. The hidden hand of systemic racism exposed for all to see. See more Read all reviews
