  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts - Justice Forum 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

The Neutral Ground documents New Orleans’ fight over monuments and America’s troubled romance with the Lost Cause. In 2015, director CJ Hunt was filming the New Orleans City Council’s vote to remove four confederate monuments. When that removal is halted by death threats, CJ sets out to understand why a losing army from 1865 still holds so much power in America. Shor Q&A to follow.
