Hi r/movies! This is director Suzannah Herbert and producer Darcy McKinnon, creators of the documentary NATCHEZ. NATCHEZ won Best Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2025, and went on to win dozens of awards at major festivals before a theatrical release from Oscilloscope. We've had such an amazing journey sharing the film with sold out crowds across the country. Starting today, the film will be available to rent at home on your favorite digital VOD platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video.

We're here to answer your questions.

Synopsis:

After generations of showcasing its antebellum homes and hoop-skirted docents, Natchez, Mississippi, is now reckoning with a romanticized past, an uncertain future and the debt it owes to the descendants of slavery. A cinematic portrait of a tourist town at a crossroads, NATCHEZ follows an array of historic homeowners, activists and tour guides as they tell their versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story.
