Alabama Story

Director - Jack Krantz

Written by Kenneth Jones

"Alabama Story" whisks audiences to 1959 America, a Deep South swirling with political tension and social change. This riveting drama comes to life through a defiant librarian, a confrontational senator, and a reunion of childhood friends now navigating societal racial norms.


Emily Wheelock Reed stands as a beacon of bravery, daring to shield a playful children's book, about a white rabbit proposing marriage to a black rabbit, from censorship. Lily and Joshua's poignant reunion beautifully echoes the unity message in the rabbit's tale.


In a vibrant world of political rivalry, star-crossed friendship, and an audacious children's author, "Alabama Story" unfurls a tale brimming with humor, heartbreak, and hope. This compelling narrative, inspired by true events, leaves audiences contemplating the power of unity, courage, and the transformative magic of storytelling.
