SYNOPSIS:
In the Deep South, a librarian finds herself facing off against segregationist policy and censorship—all because of a children’s book about the marriage of a black rabbit and a white rabbit. In parallel, two childhood friends—a white man and a Black woman—reconnect amidst the chaos, upheaval, and sparks of hope as the civil rights movement dawns.
Made possible in part by funds from the Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and by the generosity of our many sponsors and donors, especially Ms. Stephanie Fein.
