Ashes to Ashes: US Lynchings and a Story of Survival (2020x4)

Data di messa in onda: Lug 08, 2020

Winfred Rembert, 74, is a Star Wars fanatic and leather artist who grew up picking cotton on a plantation in Georgia in the United States. He joined the civil rights movement as a teenager and survived a lynching attempt when he was 21 years old. Decades on, he develops a friendship with Dr Shirley Jackson Whitaker, a physician and fellow artist who is on a mission to memorialise the forgotten 4,000 African Americans lynched during the Jim Crow era, which enforced racial segregation in the Southern states from 1877 through to the 1950s. Together, their journeys of healing intertwine.
