Black History Month Film Series: MOVING MIDWAY
Run Time: 98 minutes. Humorous, poignant, probing and suspenseful, MOVING MIDWAY follows a real-life family commotion that swirls around one of America’s most contested and controversial icons: the Southern plantation. New York filmmaker Godfrey Cheshire returns home to Raleigh and finds that his cousin is about to uproot and relocate the family ancestral home – Midway Plantation – to escape urban sprawl. As Cheshire explores the plantation mythology embodied in our cultural history – from Uncle Tom’s Cabin to Gone with the Wind to Roots – his cousin follows through on the Herculean feat of hoisting Midway several miles across a forbidding landscape. However, this event leads to an even more startling surprise: the discovery of 100 African-American cousins that Cheshire never expected, potent proof of America’s long buried but increasingly important status as a mixed-race society. Audience: Adults
