Director Statement
Sundown Towns are all-white municipalities or neighborhoods in the US that practice a form of racial segregation by excluding non-whites via some combination of discriminatory local laws, intimidation, and violence. Black and brown people were met with violent repercussions if they unknowingly found themselves in the wrong town after dark.
This film is directly inspired by my own traumatic experience with racism and homophobia. As a queer black man, It feels like you can never win, trying to exist in a world that constantly uses what you look like and who you choose to love as a deadly weapon against you.
