**Producer**: Darcy McKinnon Join us in the microcinema for Suzannah Herbert’s brilliant documentary *Natchez, *an entertaining and eye-opening film about reckoning with the ghosts of the past. This beautifully composed and expertly balanced film captures an unsettling clash between history and memory in a small Mississippi town; a layered mosaic of people contending with the weight of the past in a place where it is always present. Join the eccentric residents of Natchez in their grand mansions where they present a glimpse into an idyllic whitewashed history, and the Black tour guides and homeowners that seek to bring to light the atrocities that plagued the exquisite town for centuries, and the covert and overt racism that persists today. Equal parts amusing and disturbing, we journey through an antebellum tourist destination at a crossroads as it grapples with a deeply troubled history that is so thoroughly ingrained in its present, we’re left to wonder if it’s actually past at all.
