Sumayah Chappelle in Sound Spring Seq. #6
In Sound Spring, residents of Yellow Springs, Ohio narrate their personal entanglements with its larger history.
Some residents trace their roots six generations to the Conway Colony--
formerly enslaved people who were helped to settle here by the abolitionist son of their slaver.
The film also recounts the former glory of Antioch College,
one of the most progressive colleges in the country, whose enrollment is now decimated.
Its illustrious alumni include Coretta Scott King, who eventually transferred, as she struggled to carry out her internships because of racism in the village.
By becoming actors lip-syncing to their own interviews,
these villagers unfold stories across time, creating a collage of past and present.
