Bama Girl

This morning I watched a documentary on IFC called 'Bama Girl' which is about Jessica Thomas (who is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha @ Bama) experience as she runs for Homecoming Queen. This took place in 2005 so I'm sure some of you may have seen it already, but I hadn't until this morning - and even then I only caught the last 30 minutes.

Quick Summary....
Quote:
Bama Girl follows a young black woman’’s quest to become the Homecoming Queen at the University of Alabama, one of the great Deep South institutions. Homecoming has a rich history there, tied into centuries of privilege, tradition, and racial exclusivity. We follow Jessica Thomas’ as she campaigns for Queen, running against not only 15 other co-eds, but a strictly segregated Greek system, internal black politics, and, most ominously, a secret all-white association called ‘The Machine’ that has been controlling politics at the University for most of the past century.
Has anyone else seen this? I searched and it didn't give me a date as to when it may air again in my area so hopefully I can catch it on PPV some time.

..........................................

Mods, I searched by the title of this documentary and couldn't find anythingg on GC, so please feel free to move to another thread if deemed so.
