Belgian artist Akerman (whose 1995 Walker-produced installation Bordering on Fiction: Chantal Akerman's "D'Est" has won international praise) traveled to the American South to make a film inspired by authors William Faulkner and James Baldwin, but she transformed her project after a horrific racist crime was committed during her stay. Three white men beat and chained an African-American man to a truck, then dragged him behind it for three miles. Eliciting interviews with residents--black and white--of the small Texas town where the events took place, Akerman documents the community's reaction to the hate crime before retracing the route of the murder. 1999, France/Belgium, in English, Beta SP, 71 minutes.
