Watch the teaser video for The House on Jonathan Street, featuring more than a dozen interviews.
About
The House on Jonathan Street is a one-hour documentary intended for national distribution to Public Television, and national and international distribution through Amazon Prime.
The documentary uses the accidental discovery of the significant history of a modest dwelling on a traditionally African-American street in Hagerstown, Maryland to trace the roots of middle America’s racial, economic and social interactions. Through the lens of this house, the rise and fall of the African-American community in small rust belt towns and cities across America is told. And how its discovery, renovation and renewal may portend a change in the fortunes of the street and the larger community.
Principal photography has begun, and a dozen of the key research interviews for the documentary have been completed.
