A vital Louisiana story of history, memory, and racial justice, narrated by New Orleans native Wendell Pierce.

In Thibodeauxville, Louisiana, where silence has long obscured a history of racial violence, a native daughter returns home to uncover the truth of the 1887 Thibodaux Massacre, when white vigilantes attacked Black sugarcane workers striking for fair wages and humane working conditions. Through descendants, historians, activists, and community members, “Thibodeauxville” confronts a history whose death toll and details remain contested, revealing how buried violence still reverberates across generations, and how remembering itself can be an act of reckoning and resilience. -RLW
