GONE WITH THE WIND is a product of its time and depicts racial and ethnic prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society.   These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

To create a more just, equitable, and inclusive future, we must first acknowledge and understand our history.   This picture is presented as it was originally created.   We hope watching it opens up discussion about the roots of institutionalized racism that are still prevalent today.   To actively dismantle these systems, we encourage using all tools available including close examination of racist themes depicted in this film.

We invite you to experience the companion content presented here for important information about the historical context of this film.
