A striking debut feature that heralds one of the most exciting new voices in documentary filmmaking, RaMell Ross’s HALE COUNTY THIS MORNING, THIS EVENING captures the fleeting poetry of a community in Alabama’s Black Belt. Ross composes his documentary of intimate and unencumbered moments of an African American community in Hale County, and reclaims the portrayal of African American men on film. His bold lyricism and innovative approach redraws the framework of documentary filmmaking.
