Overview

In Pine Lake, Georgia, a small town with a population of 747, the community prides itself on being an inclusive haven where nature is cherished, artists are honored, volunteerism is abundant, and women hold significant roles in government. However, in this mostly white enclave in the Deep South, the town’s sense of comfort comes with a hidden cost, impacting those who live beyond its borders. This documentary uncovers the town’s history of excessive policing, which contradicts its progressive reputation.
