Eating Alabama

Born and raised in north Alabama, Andrew Beck Grace's films have aired on public television stations and at film festivals across the country. He received an MA in American Studies from the University of Wyoming where he made his first documentary feature about the reenactments of Custer's Last Stand in southern Montana. After a few years in the west, freelancing for magazines and working as a producer for NPR News, he moved back to his home state to tell stories about the deep South and to teach a unique interdisciplinary social justice documentary course at the University of Alabama. He attended the 2009 CPB/PBS Producers Academy at WGBH in Boston.
