Racist Trees

Running 1h 24m and made in the United States, Racist Trees (2022) is a Documentary film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Charles Metcalf Jr. and Jean Metcalf; Sara Newens directs. Can a tree be racist? A few years ago, debate on this issue reached as far as Fox News. The focus was a row of tamarisk trees along a huge golf course in Palm Springs, which screened off the neighborhood of Crossley Tract. This is a historically Black neighborhood, named after its founder Lawrence Crossley, who was one of the first Black residents to settle in the largely white tourist paradise, established on indigenous land over a century ago.
