Blue Lobster Tales

Richard Propes- "Vacation Plantation becomes particularly enlightening through the presence of Jo Banner and Joseph McGill. This is particularly true as the film begins to wind down, and these two have established themselves as well-informed, well-reasoned human beings who are acutely aware that racism is alive and well in America (NOTE: as a person with lifelong disability, I'd personally argue that slavery is alive in the United States to this day just expressed differently)."

UK Film Review - Vacation Plantation!

"The film presents a perfect irony in the shape of a tourist plantation."

"The documentary excellently highlights the issues posed by plantations being used as tourist attractions and the way this contributes to a whitewashed version of history, honouring a traumatic past. These plantations and their twisted history, through ignorance towards the black community, made these landmarks into spaces characterised by whiteness and ‘southern hospitality’ rather than the racial violence which built them."

Film Threat just reviewed Vacation Plantation: "Vacation Plantation is required viewing. Whether you consider it to be 'woke' White guilt, or you are aware of the persistent failings of racial justice in the U.S., this film provides critical context of the origin of Southern wealth and the traumatic lives of enslaved people on the plantations."

10/10!
