Residents of Yellow Springs, Ohio narrate their personal entanglements with its larger history.
I conducted audio interviews with the villagers several months before shooting.
Interviewees later lip-synced to the recordings of their voices on camera.
Every story told comprises various layers of time.

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.
