People Where They Are Tickets

Spring 1955 - the Jim Crow South. At Monteagle, Tennessee’s Highlander Folk School, the consequential labor and civil rights leadership training center, six ordinary people from vastly different backgrounds wrestle with the obstacles to a fully functioning democracy - and each other - as they seek to move the nation forward. A boiling cauldron of collisions, epiphanies, and hope paralleling today’s fractious fault lines, People Where They Are reveals - with compelling, entertaining relevance - what is at stake in keeping alive the American Experiment.
