But the ability to witness and understand that complexity and foster empathy is more important than ever. Which is why REEL SOUTH exists. REEL SOUTH is a PBS documentary series that showcases authentic and inspiring stories which unearth the spirit of the South today. With every film, the series explores the multifaceted layers of Southern life across themes of social justice, cultural experience, environmental challenges, and more. REEL SOUTH aims to leverage our region’s rich storytelling tradition as a catalyst for positive change and deeper understanding — in the American South and beyond. REEL SOUTH is co-produced by PBS North Carolina, South Carolina ETV, and Louisiana Public Broadcasting and produced in association with Alabama Public Television, South Florida PBS, Tennessee Public Television Council, and WABE.
