Racist Trees Synopsis
Can a tree be racist? A few years ago, debate on this issue reached as far as Fox News. The focus was a row of tamarisk trees along a huge golf course in Palm Springs, which screened off the neighborhood of Crossley Tract. This is a historically Black neighborhood, named after its founder Lawrence Crossley, who was one of the first Black residents to settle in the largely white tourist paradise, established on indigenous land over a century ago.
Racist Trees (2022) is a documentary film directed by Sara Newens, released on November 9, 2022 with a runtime of 1h 24m. It stars Charles Metcalf Jr., Jean Metcalf, Charles Metcalf Sr. and Ray WIlliams.
