Spanish Lake

Spanish Lake

A controversial documentary on 'white flight' in the area of Spanish Lake, Missouri, a post-World War II suburb five miles from Ferguson, Missouri. Due to racism, housing developments, and governmental policies, Spanish Lake experienced a white exodus in the 1990s, resulting in rapid economic decline and population turnover. In the aftermath of the Mike Brown shooting and Ferguson riots, Spanish Lake is a shocking and timely film on America's growing political divide, racial tension, and rise of anti-government sentiment.
