      abstract = {Independent filmmaker Carla Wilson documents the exodus of  black people from the inner-city, tracking folks from  Chicago as they migrate west to small-town Iowa City, where  they struggle to establish roots. Echoing the early  20th-century Great Migration of blacks from southern states  to the Northeast and Midwest, this new migration is also  about family-friendly housing, jobs, and the search for a  better life.  Iowa City is a self-identified peaceful  community now facing new challenges: supposedly safe havens  from urban life are increasingly attractive to the urban  underclass, and as a consequence, these communities are  compelled to redefine themselves in terms of race, class,  and the urban/rural divide. Moving between narrated  experience and social scientific data, local and the  national scenes, history and immediacy, the documentary  profiles a region in transition, providing public  administrators, teachers, and private citizens new  narratives for self-understanding and action.},
