Cracker Crazy - 7:30 pm - 8/24/07 at Five Spot

Cracker Crazy
The Invisible Histories of the Sunshine State
Dir. Georg Koszulinski - FL - 94 min.
Film Website

Koszulinski's historical narrative tells the story of Florida's history from a decidedly different point of view. Blending archival and original footage, he brings to life a cast of historical characters spanning over 12,000 years, from Florida’s ancient Indians to the migrant farm workers of the 21st century. Meet Osceola and the Seminoles, who fought alongside escaped slaves in the most costly Indian War in American History. Unmask Florida’s Ku Klux Klan and don’t forget about Walt Disney and Henry Flagler – perhaps the two characters most responsible for the Florida we know today. “Think you know Florida? Think again. See ‘Cracker Crazy’ for an eye-opening experience.”
(Paul Ortiz, Author/Historian, University of California)
