Red Turns Into Blue: Athens, Inside-Out 2 (2021)
In 1987, Bill Cody and Tony Gayton filmed the seminal music doc Athens, GA - Inside/Out featuring R.E.M., the B-52's and Pylon, among many other bands. Thirty years later, Bill returns on a new journey that uncovers a Southern city that is leading the way in progressive politics and the beginnings of true racial equity. Once again featuring members of R.E.M., the B-52's and Pylon, only now bolstered by a new generation of artists and activists including Mariah Parker aka Linqua Franqa, Kishi Bashi, Patterson Hood and the Drive-By Truckers. Follow along the journey through the social changes that have come to the forefront of our American dialogue.
Directors: Bill Cody, Tony Brazier.
