USA (2012) Dir: Lisa Biagiotti. Beneath layers of history, poverty and soaring HIV infections, four Americans redefine traditional Southern values in this documentary about the new American South and the people who inhabit its most quiet corners. Josh seeks the support of an underground gay family hours away from his suffocating Mississippi Delta hometown; Monica and Tammy, with no funds and few resources, try to unite reluctant participants at their annual HIV retreat in rural Louisiana; Kathie, an Alabama activist, spends 120 days a year fighting a bureaucracy that continues to ignore the South. English. DVD. 72 minutes. This screening is in celebration of World AIDS Day (December 1). Partial funding provided by the Black Cultural Center and Office of LGBTQI.
