Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers - Welcome to Shelbyville

The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers is showing "Welcome to Shelbyville" at the Clarkston Community Center.

"Welcome to Shelbyville" chronicles America at a crossroads through the lens of one rural town in the Bible Belt of Tennessee. A stone's throw from the birthplace of the KKK, the town grapples with its segregated past while at the same time navigating the arrival of Latino immigrants and newer Somali refugees who have come to work in the local chicken plant. Set during the beginnings of an historic new administration, a declining economy and unprecedented demographic shifts, an ensemble cast of colorful, irreverent characters represent life in small town America at a critical time in our country's history.
