Left Turn 2 was produced to generate constructive conversation around the issue of racial division and consider what actions people can take to build bridges. The film is currently being used by non-profits and local high schools for this purpose.

Produced by a non-profit, Left Turn II was filmed locally in Evansville, IN on a limited budget. An extra portion of the budget was raised through Kickstarter by generous backers who believed in the film’s message.

Though Left Turn 2 is a fictional narrative, it reflects real circumstances and stories.

The first step we took when approaching this film was listening, and because of the delicate subject of this film, we paid special attention to researching Evansville’s racially-divided history and interviewing people who are affected by racial injustice today.

The people we interviewed shared personal stories and provide a great example of people who are building bridges in our community. We are grateful for their openness and transparency. It is our hope to honor them and help better race relations in our community and others open to having this crucial conversation.
