CROSSING OVERTOWN explores the history of race relations in Miami and the long narrative of racial conflict that still resonates in the national conversation. Overtown is the oldest Black community in Miami and it has borne witness to the full arc of the civil rights movement. Through interviews with historians and Miami residents, the film traces the city's history from the Reconstruction and Jim Crow eras to today's social justice movements. Experts also discuss Miami's lesser-known and integral role in early nonviolent protest.
