Exquisite storytelling, linking long-ago to now
We took the opportunity during a long drive through the Carolinas, West Virginia, and Virginia to binge-listen to Deep South from Witness docs. We didn’t intend to listen straight through, but we had no choice; we were instantly hooked! Neil Shea, a journalist I’ve long admired for his writing, has translated his thoughtful, compassionate curiosity to the microphone as he and his filmmaker parter Taylor Hom go in search of answers to an unsolved lynching that happened more than a half century ago. But that powerful wholly unjust and abhorrent act is, in many ways, such a small part of the story. It’s really about stepping into a world and dissecting the dynamics of the relationships within it, like a Tolstoy novel, and then watching as Neil and Taylor draw the clear threads to what it all means to us, here, now. More than ever. Say his name: Isadore Banks. Highly recommended.

This podcast is well researched and gut wrenching. It shows racial injustice in a microcosm and by doing that it makes the case for reparations.

The narrators are easy to listen to and the accompanying music does an excellent job of conveying the mood and setting. You will learn a lot by listening, I promise.
