Discussion Guide
 

We developed a discussion guide as a companion to As Goes The South. 

This discussion guide is structured to support meaningful conversation. Rooted in a belief in the strength and significance of the South, it’s created for individuals who want to use As Goes the South as a tool to
spark dialogue with family, friends, classmates, coworkers, and communities about the roles of place
and history in shaping our world.

The film may also inspire reflections on how we build community and tackle complex social
challenges. This guide encourages discussions grounded in curiosity and mutual respect, where
people share perspectives, listen deeply, and remain open to new insights.

 

The discussion questions are thoughtfully designed to engage diverse audiences and deepen
understanding of the film’s themes. Rather than covering everything, focus on one or two prompts
that resonate most with your group’s goals or interests. And importantly, leave space to talk about
possible actions.
