Breaking from the constraints of the documentary form as it contemplates the signs of loss and change in the American South, General Order No.9 is the stunning culmination of over eleven years' work from first time writer-director Bob Persons. The film marries experimental film-making with an accessible, naturalist sensibility to tell the epic story of the clash between nature & man's progress, and reaches a bittersweet reconciliation all its own. Told entirely with images, poetry, and music, it is unlike any film you have ever seen. A story told in maps, dreams, and prayers, it is one last trip down the rabbit hole before it's paved over.Trailer HERE
