Writer Alvin Hall returns to Wakulla County, Florida, where he grew up to shed light on the political present and share a portrait of a disappearing way of life. it is an America most people do not know. it has long been deeply rural, a place of unspoilt wilderness and incredible natural beauty. But it has also been a place with a violent history of racial segregation and oppression. The security Alvin experienced as a child growing up in one of the county's self-sufficient Black 鈥渧illage鈥� communities contrasts with the horrific racial violence he has only gained knowledge of as an adult.

But change is coming. Since Alvin鈥檚 last visit almost 10 years ago unprecedented development has swept the county and it seems as if decades of racial division might really be starting to wear away. Is this really the beginning of the end?
