About the film<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The documentary traces the inspiring journey of New Communities Inc., and the struggle for racial and economic justice among African Americans in southwest Georgia. Formed in 1969 during the Civil Rights movement, New Communities persevered as the largest black-owned farm in the country, even despite relentless opposition. New Communities lost its land in 1985 due to discriminatory lending practices by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but then prevailed in an historic lawsuit, staking its claim to new land and a new beginning in 2009.<\/p>\n
