The Southern Documentary Fund (SDF) is proud to present In-the-Works at Full Frame again this year. This program provides audiences with a unique opportunity to watch documentaries in various stages
 of production and to participate in the critique process. It also gives filmmakers the opportunity to receive feedback from a dedicated assembly of their peers and serious documentary enthusiasts. This year, In-the-Works will screen excerpts from Old South by Danielle Beverly and Trapped by Dawn Porter.

Old South, Directed by Danielle Beverly
Hope is thirty years old and fighting to save her historic African American neighborhood from encroachment by an elite white fraternity, one known to fly a Confederate flag and hold an annual antebellum parade. Since the post-racial glow of the election of Obama, everyone’s talking about race. But is it really so easy to speak openly and honestly? Or to change? Old South explores two colliding Southern communities as they strive to keep their respective legacies relevant in a changing America.

Trapped, Directed by Dawn Porter
In the past three years, a record-breaking number of laws aimed at restricting access to abortion have passed in states across the country. Known as TRAP laws, these laws are an effort to systematically eliminate licensed abortion clinics in the United States. Trapped follows physician and abortion provider Dr. Willie Parker, who travels from his home in Chicago, Illinois, to provide services at two of the only remaining clinics in the South: Reproductive Health Services of Montgomery in Alabama and the Jackson Women’s Health Organization in Mississippi. Each state is fighting a TRAP law that would prevent out-of-state physicians from caring for patients. If these laws are successful, both clinics will close.
