A Georgia Town’s First Desegregated Prom and the Killing That Further Divided Its People
An exclusive first look at the HBO documentary Southern Rites, which examines a town’s first desegregated prom and the killing that further divided people along racial lines.
“We’ve seen this on television a lot lately with young people whose lives do not need to be lost,” Legend says in the film. “People who were unarmed in situations where they were thought to be more dangerous than they really were. This film really explores the racial divide we see in the criminal justice system, the way people interact in their social lives, and of course, in voting as well.”
Here’s an exclusive first look at Southern Rites, featuring Laub and Legend discussing their timely and meaningful film.
