1h40min - Doc - Not Rated - English
Led by Conductor Dr. Tim Seelig, this journey is a moving testament to reconciliation, resistance, and the healing power of song. They performed in churches, community centers and concert halls in hopes of uniting us in a time of difference. The journey also challenges Tim and other Chorus members who fled the South to confront their own fears, pain and prejudices on a journey towards reconciliation. The conversations and connections that emerge offer a glimpse of a less divided America, where the things that divide us; faith, politics, sexual identity are set aside by the soaring power of music, humanity and a little drag. More than a concert, this film is a love song to the South—and a celebration of truth, unity, and unapologetic joy.
