The miracle, though, is that the movie isn’t a diatribe. Its voices...are gentle and persuasive, using the horrific details of the rape and its aftermath as ballast to stabilize a heart-wrenching history of systemic injustice.
2779d ago
Despite that larger context, “The Rape of Recy Taylor” still gives a specific black woman and her experience a voice, which remains rarer than it should be.

The film looks at what happened after an African American woman reported her brutal attack in 1944.

How they were treated as subhuman post-slavery and the stigma still attributed to them (don’t forget Harvey Weinstein finally “defended” himself against accusations only when Lupita Nyong’o told her story) demands their own pillar of strength. Recy Taylor is she.

Documentarian Nancy Buirski highlights an overlooked rape case in the segregated South and its impact on the civil rights struggle.

Nancy Buirski’s documentary “The Rape of Recy Taylor" is a heartfelt work on a powerful subject: the rape of a black woman in Abbeville, Alabama in 1944 by a group of white men, a crime that disappeared into the larger history of the south for racial reasons.
