South To Black Power

Set against the 2022 midterm elections, this eye-opening documentary follows New York Times columnist and bestselling author Charles M. Blow as he sets off across the country to test his theory on Black Liberation, which involves a daring strategy for Black Americans to move to the southern states to gain greater political power. Drawing on his personal story – from his childhood in Louisiana to his relentless commitment to racial justice – and through conversations with politicians, historians, community activists, colleagues, friends, and family members, Blow challenges Black Americans to affect change through reverse migration in order to win legislative majorities in states that already have the highest percentages of Black residents. Timely and affecting, South to Black Power captures Blow’s attempts to disrupt the status quo while revealing the hard-won truths that illuminate his vision for the future.
