How does one express the reality of individuals whose public image, lives, and humanity originate in exploitation? In the lives of protagonists Daniel and Quincy, quotidian moments and the surrounding southern landscape are given importance, drawing poetic comparisons between historical symbols and the African-American banal. As filmmaker RaMell Ross crafts a tapestry made up of time, the human soul, history, environmental wonder, sociology and cosmic phenomena, a new aesthetic framework emerges that offers a new way of seeing and experiencing the heat and the hearts of people in the Black Belt region of the U.S. as well far beyond.
