deepsouth (USA, 2014 / Color / 72 minutes) is an award-winning documentary about the neglected HIV/AIDS crisis in the rural American South. Beneath layers of history, poverty, and now soaring HIV infections, three Americans redefine traditional Southern values to create their own solutions to survive.

On December 1, 2014, the film was self-distributed and digitally released worldwide. Seventy (70) communities across the United States screened deepsouth for World AIDS Day with a 10-hour live-stream with cast/crew. The correct spelling of the title is: deepsouth—one word, no capitalization.

Synopsis

Joshua Alexander, a college student, seeks the support of an underground gay family miles away from his suffocating Mississippi Delta hometown. With no funds and few resources, Monica Johnson tries tirelessly to unite reluctant participants at her annual HIV retreat in rural Louisiana. Kathie Hiers, an Alabama activist, spends 120 days a year on the road fighting a bureaucracy that continues to ignore the South.

The film, titled after a poem by Wheeler, details the abuse he received at the hands of his classmates because of his homosexuality. It also presents interviews and a cross-nation road-trip with members of Young Gay America, an online teen organization for gays, and compares the teasing and physical abuse Jim suffered to the increasingly open attitudes towards homosexuality six years later when the film was first shown.
