THE RAPE OF RECY TAYLOR, Nancy Buirski's somber and disturbing new documentary, revisits this grave injustice through an evocative weave of testimony, music and film footage of the Jim Crow South.

Planting a flag firmly at the intersection of patriarchy, sexism and white supremacy, THE RAPE OF RECY TAYLOR is a documentary of multiple layers and marvelous gumption.
