Description / Plot Summary: Moving Midway
In the days of slavery, before a black man could be elected president, Midway Plantation sat in all its antebellum glory on several hundred verdant acres of prime North Carolina countryside. But more than a century later, this searing emblem of the Old South has been swallowed up by the onslaught of modern civilization: highways, strip malls and big box stores.

Now, Charlie Silver, a descendent of the man who built Midway, is determined to save the family home. To escape the urban sprawl, he decides to move the entire plantation several miles away, to a nice spot in a quiet field. And that's when Charlie and his relatives learn that some other descendents of the plantation - descendents of slaves - have a vested interest in Midway.

In Moving Midway, Charlie's cousin (and film critic-turned filmmaker) Godfrey Cheshire turns his camera on his family and the ensuing drama surrounding the move, as the two heirs of Midway past - black and white - are unexpectedly brought together for, shall we say, an interesting family reunion.
