The Purging of Monica Campbell

THE PURGING OF MONICA CAMPBELL is the sometimes brutal account of one young woman struggling to escape generations of family dysfunction. It takes place in a small town in the Cumberland Mountains against the backdrop of the conflict in Vietnam and the struggle for racial equality. The lynching of a young, black anti-war demonstrator triggers painful memories long repressed in Moe. While wrestling with these, she must also challenge law enforcement to investigate this crime. THE PURGING OF MONICA CAMPBELL is a frank and unflinching account of the worst of one family’s depravity, but is also a testament to a belief in change.
