ABOUT THE FILM

The documentary “Crossing Overtown” examines the integral role Miami would play in the national civil rights movement and the long narrative of racial conflict that still resonates in the national conversation. Overtown is the oldest Black community in Miami and bears witness to the full arc of the civil rights movement.
