Pleasant Hill Baptist Church was the center of life and culture for a few hardworking and tough minded African American families in the Mississippi backwoods. Grandma Brillie with her brood of gun-toting sons were at church every Sunday as she paraded down the isle of the old wooden church. Right outside, the Perkins boys were gambling and selling moonshine to sinners and saints alike. Follow these families onto the back roads, into the juke joints, and revivals as they try to carve out a living in a time where just walking on the sidewalk next to someone White could get you thrown in jail.
