'deepsouth' is a documentary about the rural American South, and the people who inhabit its most quiet corners. Beneath layers of history, poverty and now soaring HIV infections, four Americans redefine traditional Southern values to create their own solutions to survive. 


Joshua Alexander, a college student, seeks the support of an underground gay family miles away from his suffocating Mississippi Delta hometown. With no funds and few resources, Monica Johnson and Tamela King try tirelessly to unite reluctant participants at their annual HIV retreat in rural Louisiana. Kathie Hiers, an Alabama activist, spends 120 days a year on the road fighting a bureaucracy that continues to ignore the South. 


'deepsouth' won the SHOUT! LGBT Best Documentary Feature Award at the Sidewalk Film Festival and the Best Domestic Documentary and Audience Favorite Award at the Outflix Film Festival. 


Next screenings: JUNE 6 at the Key West PRIDE Film Festival + JUNE 15 and JUNE 17 at Human Rights Film Festival in  New York.
