After generations of showcasing its antebellum homes and hoop-skirted docents, Natchez, Mississippi, is now reckoning with a romanticized past, an uncertain future and the debt it owes to the descendants of slavery. A cinematic portrait of a tourist town at a crossroads, Natchez follows an array of historic homeowners, activists and tour guides as they tell their versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story. Winner of the best documentary feature award and the Black Lens audience choice award at the 2025 Sidewalk Film Festival, we are proud to bring Natchez back for an encore run at the cinema.
