Don’t know if you’ve covered this or not – this award-winning documentary movie about the vanishing old south with narration by former Decatur resident Bill Davidson is playing this week at the Cinefest Theatre at GSU .

Playing on Courtland Street through this Thursday to be more specific.  Here’s a little summation of the move from GSU’s website…

Robert Persons’ directorial debut, General Orders No. 9, exists as a breathtakingly poetic meditation on the state of Georgia and its cultural, moral and geographical birthright, rendered through the rapt contemplation of historical maps, architectural artifacts, lyrical narration and exquisite landscape cinematography. In synthesizing a mixture of imagery and iconography vital to reconciling the cultural and territorial identity of Georgia, and by proxy the entire American South, Persons traces a spellbinding genealogy that is both uniquely American and unforgettable.

Former Decaturite or not, I gotta see this.
