A psychodrama exploring the complex nature of Black legacy in Atlanta. Trapped in a rainswept car, a young man and his ailing father confront their fractured history before it's too late.

Story

Written and directed by Alex Woodruff, Thomasville stars Jay Jones (P-Valley) and Stephen Ruffin (Snowfall) as a father and son reckoning with a fractured history tied to Atlanta's Thomasville Heights, gentrification, and the city's Red Dog policing era, almost entirely from inside a rain-soaked car outside a hospital.
