Overview
RaMell Ross’s documentary observes the lives of two young Black men — Daniel and Quincy — across five years in Hale County, Alabama. Trading conventional narrative for a lyrical, associative form built from small moments, weather, and the passage of time, the film composes an intimate portrait of community and the texture of Black life in the American South.
