C.S.A. The Confederate States of America (2004)
Country: US
Technical: col 89m
Director: Kevin Willmott
Cast: Larry Peterson, Evamarii Johnson, Rupert Pate
Synopsis:
A mockumentary charting the history of the CSA from the Civil War onwards, on the assumption that the South won through support from Britain and France. The survival of the institution of slavery leads to some interesting angles on the national and world events that followed, as well as on the world of consumer product marketing.
Review:
The problem is that the premise is a big pill to swallow (witness Apartheid and the climate that made it impossible in the latter half of the last century). Or am I missing the point? Is it not rather the aim of this Spike Lee joint to squewer some all too prevalent attitudes, covert or implicit, in America today?
