Summary:

"SOUND SPRING is an anthology documentary about Yellow Springs, a midwestern village in Ohio with a unique civil rights legacy. Its history distinguishes itself, because unlike today, when many small towns have been fractured by racism and economic disparity, members of this community have confronted inequality together. Each resident portrayed has helped create their own scene, based on an audio interview the director conducted with them. The interviewees are not telling their stories for the first time—rather, most are lip-syncing recordings of their own previous interviews. Some interviewees are better at the performance than others; both the mistakes and uncertainty of these initial recordings, as well as occasional errors in re-performing, bring attention to the delicacy of preserving a story over time"-- Projectr
