Project Title: A BINDING TRUTH

Brief Synopsis: In 1965, Jimmie transferred to an affluent white high school in Charlotte for his senior year, becoming their first Black football star. That decision swept him into one of North Carolina's most volatile civil rights cases, played out at the explosive intersection of football and race. De, a white student, watched that case unfold and wrote about it in his college essay application. He said it got him into Harvard. Decades later, a shocking discovery found in church records changes their lives. What unfolds is a deeply personal yet profoundly American story — one that reveals the legacy of slavery, the complexities of race and privilege, and, ultimately, the power of truth in their journey toward healing.
