Inspired by a true story, Strom Thurmond is Not a Racist is an absurdist look at the life of Senator Strom Thurmond. After fathering a child with his black maid as a young man, White Southern Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond became one of the country’s greatest segregationists; all the while playing daddy to his bi-racial daughter Essie Mae Washington Williams.
“IMPRESSIVE! A wickedly shocking double bill that unapologetically flaunts racial conflict…" boasts Time Out New York in their New York review of Strom Thurmond Is Not A Racist. With an all star cast, Jesse Saler, Arsene Delay and Danny Jensen, Strom Thurmond Is Not A Racist will make its Los Angeles premiere.
