Composed of intimate and unencumbered moments of people in a community in Alabama’s Black Belt, "Hale County This Morning, This Evening" offers an emotive impression of the Historic South. Daniel Collins attends college in search of opportunity while Quincy Bryant becomes a father to an energetic son. Creating a poetic form that privileges the patiently observed interstices of their lives, RaMell Ross' film trumpets the beauty of life and consequences of race, while simultaneously existing as a testament to dreaming despite the odds.
