SYNOPSIS

Five-lane motorways, parking spaces as far as the eye can see, and not a single cycle path: the city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, represents the typical American car city. Its unique history further highlights a divide that is seemingly impossible to bridge—between rich and poor, white and black, mobile and dependent on public transport. We follow three protagonists working to provide and improve mobility in their community as they tell the history of the Safe Bus Company, formerly the largest black-owned transportation system in the world. The Lack of It addresses the nearly non-existent public transport in the suburbs of present-day North Carolina, highlighting how mobility continues to reflect socio-economic class disparities and deep-rooted structural racism.
