Notes
Description
The small town of Denmark was once a thriving hub of South Carolina's idyllic Low Country. Today, this majority African-American town with a population of 3,500 is emblematic of the "Forgotten South." For Sellers, Denmark is the land on which his forefathers toiled to build lives of meaning and substance, despite systemic racism and Jim Crow laws. He shines a light on life in today's rural South, where Americans still struggle for the basics of modern life: internet access, groceries, medical care, and clean water. -- adapted from jacket
