Time and Dreams facts for kids

Time and Dreams is a 1976 documentary created by Mort Jordan, a graduate student at Temple University, about residents of Greene County, Alabama and its changing racial history.

Summary

Filmed in black-and-white, it features voiceovers of white residents reflecting on political and racial changes in Greene County in the wake of the civil rights movement.

Rediscovery

Besides the rare screening, the film remained relatively obscure and had no iMDb listing, until the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 2017. It had initially been recommended by the manager of Temple University's film archive, Leonard Guercio. The Registry called it "a unique and personal elegiac approach to the civil rights movement."
