Twenty years in the making, Stories from the Balcony is a documentary film about growing up going to the movies at the Grand Theatre during the era of Jim Crow segregation. It is the story of community, love, and belonging, despite the discrimination and degradation faced by Frankfort’s Black community, who were relegated to the balcony. The film features George Wolfe, Sheila Mason Burton, Mike Fields, Freddie Johnson, Van Warren, Vinson Parsons, Bill Crumbaugh, and many others. Katima Smith-Willis’s voice brings a modern-day perspective to the story, with Mary Jackson as narrator. Produced and directed by Joanna Hay.
