Mississippi Remixed | A fresh look at race relations in the Deep South
Mississippi ReMixed is a documentary film, produced in association with Mississippi Public Broadcasting, by Myra Williams Ottewell, a Mississippi-born Canadian. The film tells the personal story of Canadian, Myra Ottewell, who returns to her birthplace in Jackson, Mississippi determined to celebrate the great racial transformations in the state since the 1960s, but discovers that understanding race relations is far more complicated than she bargained for. Mixed with rarely seen archival footage, the controversial documentary explores the state of race relations today, celebrates the transformations occurring, and exposes the struggles and successes Mississippi is having with integration today. The “warm nest” of her family is remembered against the backdrop of both social unrest and complacency, and she confront the traditions that became a system of keeping everyone in his or her “place”. I learn that even “good people” can be caught up in oppression, if their lives and the assumptions that surround social interactions are unexamined. She ultimately exchange the naïve notions of my memories with a solid understanding of the past and glimpse the roadmap for the future of racial reconciliation in Mississippi and, perhaps, even America.
