I Knew Home When I Saw it: Mapping RaMell Ross’s Hale County This Morning, This Evening
Abstract
This project consists of two parts: 1) an initial, written analysis of Hale County
This Morning, This Evening, a 2018 documentary of my home county (Hale County, Alabama)
by filmmaker (and former public school coach) RaMell Ross, exploring details of the
film through RaMell Ross’s own words, in interviews, about his style, through my personal
experiences of the area through research of historical context, and close readings
of particular scenes in the film. And 2) an interactive map that offers a deeper understanding
of the area, the people, and important places Ross features in the film, drawing on
all of the work for part 1 and on an interview between the author and the documentary
filmmaker himself. The audio of this interview is included in a separate file. This
second part, the story map with visuals and audio, is my most important contribution,
the first being detailed research towards, and also an introduction to, the interactive
map.
