BREAKDOWN

PLANTATION BLACK

SYNOPSIS: Two contemporary families: one white, descended from the original owners of the Civil War era plantation, and the other Black, descended from the people who were enslaved on the same plantation. Due to legally and morally questionable events from the Civil War era, the rightful heir to the land is murky, forcing the present-day families to consider a sequence of events in 1864-65 that will help them arrive at an equitable path forward.
