About the production

Early twentieth century style sharecropping still exists in Alabama, as quiet as it's kept. Dyann Robinson tells a tale about a twenty-first century Alabama sharecropper community's struggle against earthly and "unearthly" forces to lift itself out of what amounts to economic slavery.
