Lest We Forget: The Lost Stories of Southern Sharecroppers (Full Documentary)
Loading...
Uploaded by TheXonline on Jan 20, 2011
Lest We Forget explores the world of southern sharecropping from an African American perspective. In the decades following the Civil War, many African Americans made a living through sharecropping, a system of tenant farming in which one who could not afford his own land contracted with landowners to work a particular piece of land in exchange for a share of the crops. The system's appeal was its promise of the chance to earn enough profit to eventually purchase one's own land. Unfortunately, the vast majority of sharecroppers ended up working in conditions no better than slavery only to find themselves in debt at the end of the year.
Written, shot and produced by filmmakers Kisha Payen and Xion Lester, Lest We Forget profiles the life of former sharecropper, Lylia Fedd, and tells an authentic southern story of trials and triumph in only a way she can tell it.
