Good White People

About This Movie

Good White People is this raw, eye-opening documentary that dives into gentrification and its effects in an old Black neighborhood in Cincinnati. You can really feel the tension as the longtime residents watch their world change with the arrival of newer, affluent folks on Segways and with craft beers in hand. The film captures these moments with a gritty realism that’s hard to shake off. The pacing feels deliberate; it allows you to sit with the discomfort. There's a kind of stark honesty in the voices of the original residents, and it's fascinating how their stories intertwine with the newcomers, revealing layers of privilege and displacement. It’s not flashy, just real people grappling with real change, which makes it distinctive in its approach.
