Setting Things Right (Doc Shorts)

 Setting Things Right

In a world where many things are wrong — our world — some folks are trying to set things right. In Texas, a former restaurant executive restores the ecosystem by providing a home for bats. In Puerto Rico, a community engagement artist illuminates the realities of American colonialism. In Virgina, community activists and historians fight to preserve the burial grounds of formerly enslaved people. Together, this collection of documentary shorts reveals not only numerous injustices across the South but also the steps we might take toward justice.
