"Statues: This Is What We Stand For?" written and produced by Morgan Atkinson, examines systemic racism, white privilege, and historical truth through the lens of seven public meetings held in Louisville between 2017 and 2019. This hour-long documentary focuses on the polarization surrounding the statue of General John B. Castleman in the Cherokee Triangle neighborhood. Is it a Jim Crow-era tribute to a racist traitor or a fitting salute to a man who made significant contributions to the community?

As "Statues" explores this question, it becomes clear that this isn't a standard "Lost Cause" issue. Instead, it highlights the tension between embracing new cultural norms and accurately representing history. The film doesn't choose a side but presents various perspectives, allowing viewers to decide in this compelling portrait of Louisville grappling with issues dividing America.

In addition to the meetings and their aftermath, the documentary considers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the unrest sparked by police violence, ultimately portraying Louisville as the epicenter of these national debates.
