Southern Rites visits Montgomery County Ga. one year after the town merged its racially segregated proms and during a historic election campaign that may lead to its first African-American sheriff. Acclaimed photographer Gillian Laub whose photos first brought the area unwanted notoriety documents the repercussions when a white town resident is charged with the murder of a young black man. The case divides locals along well-worn racial lines and the ensuing plea bargain and sentencing uncover complex truths and produce emotional revelations.
