Oscar Docs 2019: Hale County This Morning, This Evening
Filmmaker RaMell Ross talks about his Oscar-nominated feature-length documentary, "Hale County This Morning, This Evening."
"That's the one thing that’s missing from the mainstream media landscape, which is just normal life. We tend to watch things… and be entertained by things that are devoid of banal joy and consequences of that historically are damning," says filmmaker @ramellross. #OscarDocs2019

It’s what’s the most absent from the world order… the truth of other perspectives," @ramellross.
