Rise Again: Tulsa and the Red Summer

About This Movie

So, 'Rise Again: Tulsa and the Red Summer' is really something else. It digs deep into the Tulsa Massacre, which is a heavy topic, but it's executed with such a raw, almost haunting atmosphere. Dawn Porter does a great job weaving together personal stories and historical accounts, making it feel both intimate and expansive. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sit with the weight of the events. The archival footage is haunting, paired with interviews that really pull you in. It’s not just about the violence, but also about resilience and community. Definitely a distinct take on a lesser-known piece of history that leaves you reflecting long after it’s over.
