At the River

Documentary
At The River is a feature-length documentary exploring the courage of a few southern Presbyterian ministers who, during the Civil Rights era, spoke out against segregation and white supremacy. Through sermons, marches, and community action, they faced threats, criticism, and loss of their pulpits. Filmmaker Carolyn Crowder, reflecting on her own upbringing in Montgomery, Alabama, interviews ministers in their 80s and 90s, revealing the personal risks and moral choices that shaped their lives. The film has sparked conversations about race, faith, and social responsibility across diverse audiences throughout the Southeast and beyond.
