“Meltdown in Dixie,” filmmaker Emily Harrold’s Orangeburg-based documentary, will be the subject of a program April 19 and April 21, presented by South Carolina State University and community partners.

A free screening of the film will take place at the Orangeburg County Library’s outdoor amphitheater on Tuesday, April 19, from 5-6 p.m. The public is invited.

The screening will be followed by a Zoom discussion beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 21, featuring the filmmaker and community members. The discussion will focus on the role of memory in the shifting interpretations of history when people disagree regarding the symbols of a shared past.

Harrold’s film follows the battle over the Confederate flag flying outside of the Edisto River Creamery in Orangeburg.

The film explores the broader role of Confederate symbolism in the 21st century and the lingering racial tensions which such symbols may serve to sustain.
