Banished
The Full Frame Festival had a number of documentaries on the American South. The first of the two I saw was Banished, a film by Marco Williams on ethnic cleansing in the late 1800's and early 1900's in the United States.
Some of the cities where these "banishments" occurred a 100 years ago are still all-white, and Mr. Williams visits those cities with decedents of the black people that were expelled from their homes. It is dumbfounding to see the Confederate flag flying on public buildings in 2007.
The interviews with the Klan members are gripping enough ("no, I wouldn't want a black person to live next doors. I believe we have a valuable legacy to protect") but as a historian in the film points out, the real scary part is the attitude of the general population in some towns: "No Sir, the Klan is here because they feel welcome here".
