ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY
As If We Were Ghosts reconstructs the history of segregated high school athletics from the 1940s to the 1960s alongside the simultaneous movements for civil rights and justice. The film brings together a team of athletes, coaches, cheerleaders, and bands to provide unique perspectives on historical events while bringing to light the astounding accomplishments of African American athletic programs in the South. This story unfolds through the voices of NBA legend Walt Frazier, former NFL players Otis Sistruck, and Monk Johnson, championship coaches, band directors, cheerleaders, and amazing Black athletes whose high school exploits were never recognized outside of their neighborhoods.
