Freedom Hill

Princeville, NC is the first town incorporated by freed, enslaved Africans in America. This historical significance sits on a precipice: it is gradually being washed away.

Freedom Hill is a documentary exploring the environmental racism washing away the town of under 2,000. It was acquired by WORLD Channel and enjoyed a national PBS premiere on Earth Day 2024. View the full film on WORLD.
