What Is Our Film About?

Join Host and Entertainment Personality, June Archer, as he takes a journey of exploration and learns about the dynamic history of the tobacco farms in Connecticut and how the people who came to work on the farms left a lasting impression on society, culture and Civil Rights.

There is a rich history about the “cash crop” of Connecticut and how it provided opportunity to various demographics to earn an income and how this led to changing the diversity of New England, the culture of our society and the fight of Civil Rights.

Through a combination of historians and first-persons accounts, this film will relate the story of Connecticut Tobacco farming and the people who came to toil in the soil and went on to build change in society.
