Our Movement Starts Here offers a raw glimpse into a rural Southern community's battle against environmental injustice. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, as it allows the viewer to absorb the gravity of the situation. The film captures the palpable tension between the residents and state authorities, painting a vivid picture of environmental racism. There's a real sense of place; you can almost feel the heat and humidity of the Carolina landscape. The grassroots activism is portrayed not just through interviews but also through archival footage, which brings authenticity. The film's distinctive atmosphere prompts reflection and conversation, challenging viewers to think about the ramifications of neglecting marginalized voices in the environmental dialogue.
