Synopsis

A 1960s roadblock divided Ferguson, Missouri, from the neighboring town of Kinloch. Ferguson, once a whites-only "sundown town," became a focal point for protests after the police shooting of Michael Brown in 2014. Kinloch, now semi-abandoned, has its own history. Residents from both towns, including Gillooly, reflect on their intertwined pasts and the ongoing issues of race relations in America.
