- Synopsis
- Set in the summer of 1961, Son of the South tells the true story of Bob Zellner, grandson of an Alabama Klansman, who went against his family as the civil rights movement began to heat up in the deep South. Living in Montgomery, he witnessed first-hand the heroism of John Lewis, Martin Luther King, Jr and Rosa Parks who said to him when he was wavering, "Something bad is going to happen right in front of you someday and you're going to have to choose which side you're on - not choosing is a choice." Made by a fellow Southerner, this is an honest and inspiring account of what it takes to do the right thing.
