Q&A + Discussion After with Jack West
Created in six weeks during the summer, the Southern Exposure Films celebrate special people and nature in the South, while discovering hidden treasures and exploring complex issues.
UNDERMINED
In Belle Mina, it’s “Another Day, Another Lawsuit” as a small Alabama town fights back against a quarry blasting right next door to them, threatening their air, water and overall quality of life.
HYPERSCALED
Increased energy and water demands from the rapid development of large data centers, and driven by technological advancements like “AI”, are increasing threats to communities across the Southeast, including Alabama. HYPERSCALED unearths the real world cost of AI as residents fight to get answers about the environmental, community, and other costly impacts of this water and energy sucking industry. Much like a vampire, the proposed “Project Marvel” is projected to consume unprecedented amounts of water and energy – right in their backyards. Click above to watch the trailer!
SALABAMA
Meet Alabama’s salamanders like you’ve never seen them before and fall for their undeniable charm. We dive into the salamanders’ hidden world of wonder, crawling right under your feet and all around you, alongside the scientists and salamander superfans who can’t get enough of these quirky critters.
THE RIVER’S GIFT
The Tallapoosa River brings a community of veterans together to find peace, connection and of course, red eye bass. Wind through Alabama’s pines, meet Rowell and his friends, and cast a line or two with them while hearing about their healing connection to this community and this special place.
