deepsouth is a documentary about the rural American South, and the people who inhabit its most quiet corners.
Beneath layers of history, poverty and now soaring HIV infections, four Americans redefine traditional Southern values to create their own solutions to survive.
Josh, a college student, seeks the support of an underground gay family miles away from his suffocating Mississippi Delta hometown.
With no funds and few resources, Monica and Tammy try to unite reluctant participants at their annual HIV retreat in rural Louisiana. Kathie, an Alabama activist, spends 120 days a year on the road fighting a bureaucracy that continues to ignore the South.
The film has been on a grassroots film tour since July 2012, screening 60 times - 40 of them in the rural South, at the invitation of communities.
