Silver Dollar Road

Raoul Peck follows the Reels family of coastal North Carolina, who have lived on their land for generations and fought developers for years over who owns it. Two brothers spent eight years in jail for refusing to leave. The film grew from reporting by Lizzie Presser for ProPublica.

Peck lets the family tell their story, showing a matriarch who holds everyone together. It's an intimate account of how Black families across the South lost land through legal loopholes, and what it costs to stand your ground.
