Hello Neighbor 03-13-2024 interview w/ Pat Longstreth

Savannah film maker Patrick Longstreth discusses his latest work titled "The Day that Shook Georgia" which will be released April 8th, 2024 on PBS broadcast and streaming.

In his most recent work explores an chemical explosion in 1971, one of the worst industrial tragedies in U.S. history shook rural Southeast Georgia. The victims were predominantly Black women, manufacturing trip flares for the Vietnam War. Over 50 years later, survivors and first responders shed new light on the bravery and sacrifice of that day, and a grassroots campaign seeks to award the victims with the Congressional Gold Medal. This film was selected for the 2023 Better Angels Lavine Fellowship Program as part of the Ken Burns Prize for Film.
