For generations, the town of Natchez, Mississippi has drawn tourists to marvel at its immaculately restored antebellum mansions, offering the ultimate, nostalgic experience of old-time Southern charm and finery.

But while the hoop-skirted matriarchs prepare their homes for visitors, an alternative tour guide is highlighting a town built by plantation owners off the back of slavery – the reality glossed over in the town’s sanitised historical narrative.

A brilliant, jaw-dropping and cinematic insight into a town facing a reckoning, Natchez follows historic homeowners, activists and tour guides as they tell their ever-more conflicting versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story.

“A stellar sophomore feature… A sensitive, sympathetic portrayal of a Gone with the Wind-cinematic city.”

Documentary Magazine

"Intelligent and observant… It raises much wider issues about the importance of truth and history that extend well beyond the town boundaries of Natchez itself.”
