"Bad Whiskey Blues" Short Doc | Summerhill and Peoplestown in Atlanta

It was the weekend of October 21, 1951.

It was supposed to be an ordinary weekend, with dives and house parties packed with the working-class people of the Summerhill and Peoplestown communities singing, laughing, and dancing their troubles away. But somebody brought in a batch of bootleg liquor that changed the trajectory of these communities forever, and the only real way the people survived was through faith, resilience, and hope.

Dinner following the screening at Porto Brazil Steakhouse, 7887 Roswell Road, Atlanta, GA 30350 - 7:00 p.m. EDT. Guest are responsible for their own food purchases.
