Look Away, Look Away

In the gripping documentary "Look Away, Look Away," director Patrick O'Connor delves into the intense battle over Mississippi's state flag, a symbol of divisive history that ignited a national reckoning after nine Black churchgoers were brutally murdered in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015. Through the eyes of activists and advocates, O'Connor exposes how racial tensions, cultural heritage, and lingering grievances from the Civil War converge to shape America's fraught identity. This unflinching exploration reveals the fierce five-year fight that ultimately shaped the state flag's fate.
