INDEPENDENT LENS | Banished | PBS

I produced this trailer for “Banished” for the nationally televised series Independent Lens on PBS, which is produced by the Independent Television Service (ITVS).

From the 1860s to the 1920s, dozens of towns and counties across America violently expelled entire African American communities, forcing thousands of black families to flee their homes. A century later, these towns remain mostly white. BANISHED tells the story of three of these communities and their black descendants, who return to learn shocking histories.

BANISHED premieres Tuesday, February 19 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.
