Banished vividly recounts the forgotten history of racial cleansing in America when thousands of African Americans were driven from their homes and communities by violent racist mobs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In fear for their lives, Black people left these towns and never returned to reclaim their property. This film places these events in the context of present day race relations, by following three concrete cases of towns that remain all-White to this day (Forsyth County, Georgia; Pierce City, Missouri; Harrison, Arkansas). no reviews | add a review
