Title: Moving Midway
Review: This is an excellent documentary that touches on issues of heredity and family, blacks and whites, southerners and Yankees, myths versus reality, and the can do spirit of preservation. Urbanization is encroaching upon Midway, a southern plantation home; so the owners, descendants of the family who built the home during slavery, decide to relocate the house and a number of out buildings. The house has much character (as do the collateral family members) and a resident ghost. My only disappointment in the documentary is the lack of reference to the archeological activity that took place preliminary to the move.I highly recommend this film to anyone who wishes to get a taste of current day sentiments for the romaticized southern plantation.
