An essay film centered around the legacy of the radical abolitionist John Brown. The history of racism and slavery in modern America is retold in a film, which spans from the 1850s to present day and the systemic violence to which Black Americans are still subjected. John Brown, a white militant activist, was sentenced to death in 1859 for his unsuccessful attempt to start an armed revolution. His story is a prism through which the contemporary artist Lee Anne Schmitt takes a clear and sober look at the dark side of American history.
