Echoes of the Forks of Cypress explores the lives of both the enslaved and the enslavers at the Forks of Cypress plantation in Florence, Alabama. The documentary highlights their struggles, resilience, and the plantation’s historical significance. It then shifts to the present, where descendants from both sides come together to confront and heal from their shared past. Sarah Moore Jackson, owner of the Forks of Cypress, along with her husband, James Jackson, is a descendant of the Orton and Stagville Plantations, both located in North Carolina.
