Competent piece about moving an old plantation house outside Raleigh, NC from its newly slurbed neighborhood to a more appropriate location.
This film took a feelgood approach to the project...the filmmaker was a member of the family that had owned it since ante bellum days...but there was an unavoidable whiff of racism in the building's history here exemplified by the introduction of some black relatives in the celebrations shown. There was also one bozo who just had to say that the civil war was really about states' rahts, which made my blood curdle.
