When Ahmad James - the son of a national civil rights leader - becomes a victim of police brutality in a segregated southern town, the community explodes. Some of the residents in Heartstown, South Carolina vow to end the violence by law enforcement in their community with a plan of self-determination and action. Some choose to believe  the moral arc of the universe bends towards justice - while others choose to bend it. 

With echoes of Eric Garner, Sandra Bland and Emmanuel AME, The Situation in South Carolina is a excruciatingly beautiful ride.
