After Greensboro

Written and Directed by Deborah Goodwin

“It’s twenty five years after Greensboro’s notorious 1979 massacre, where Klansmen descended on innocent civilians and opened fire, sanctioned by local police. Twin brothers, BRIAN and THEO are strangers to the town, looking for the father they never knew — a former Civil Rights lawyer who has become a fall-down drunk. Mistakenly targeted by the Sheriff and the underground Klan, for a crime they haven’t committed, the brothers find themselves depending on their estranged father’s mercy. While he must finally face down the truth that has kept him from knowing his sons — and hope that he can keep them alive.”

This is the fictionalized version of the aftermath of a true event that rocked a small North Carolina town and damaged many lives for years to come.
“After Greensboro” combines the personal tragedy of a family with that of a town and the contemporary questions of racism that continue to beg answers.
