Taking two anti-racist and anti-authoritarian liberation movements in South London and Chicago's South Side as a point of departure, South presents an expressionistic investigation of the power of individual and collective voice. Interlinked with Morgan Quaintance's own biography, the film also considers questions of mortality and the will to transcend a world typified by concrete relations.
"Director Morgan Quaintance drew a parallel between the civil rights movements in the United States and England using his own life. 'South' is a strong example of how there is still a long way to go when it comes to civil rights. There is still a lack of awareness in much of society - and we know it's not just in the two countries featured in the film. This documentary found a poetic way to convey a message and perhaps it needed to be more hard-hitting considering the importance of the topic."
