you're from the -- you're from the area, and i think that probably gave you a little bit more credibility to get people to talk. how important was that? >> i think it made all the difference. being from orangeburg i just knew the landscape of the town, and there was just so much more credibility that i had reaching out to everyone involved. they were much more willing to speak with me. and, you know, i also really care about the issue because this is my hometown, and i really cared about how the town and the people in it were portrayed. >> i loved how much you didn't feel the need to include a narrator. in fact, correct me if i'm wrong, i think we only hear your voice once in the entire documentary towards the end there, correct? >> that's right, yeah. i just -- i feel like the power of documentary you can take people into different communities and just introduce them to people where they're at, so i didn't feel there was a need to editoralize because i think audiences can draw their own conclusions from seeing things as they are. >> how did you get the trust from the sons of the confederacy? look, i do think it helped you were from there, but not every journalist could have gotten that sit down. not every journalist could have handed them the original secession papers and gotten them to read it. >> right. yeah, i was very nervous when we filmed that to be honest. and ultimately i have no idea if buzz and the sons of confederate veterans were going to want to participate, but i just felt like when i was starting the project i had to reach out and find out. and so, you know, i sent off some facebook messages and really had no idea if i'd hear back. and a couple days later i got a phone call. and buzz was, you know, very cautious, and i was very cautious. but over the course of filming it was a three-year process, and i was really upfront about what i was trying to do, upfront that i was filming with tommy and the ice cream shop. and i think buzz just felt like he wanted -- he knew i was going to make the film, and he wanted to -- he'd rather be able to present himself himself than have me, you know, draw my own conclusions. >> has he seen your finished project? has everybody seen your finished project? >> yes, everybody has seen it. >> can i confess to having a few ideas that i'm curious as to why the shop owners didn't try this. so idea number one is did they think about putting up like six surrounding flagpoles, giant american flags to basically make it impossible for you to see the confederate flag? >> yeah, tommy actually really wanted to do that, and that was part of my he was starting to dig up the monument because he wanted to build something around it, but then he doesn't own that land. it's not his land, so there was very quickly a stop work order from the city, and i think he just ultimately felt like he was going at it in every issue and wasn't succeeding and eventually just decided i don't want to be here anymore and, you know, closed the ice cream shop and left town. >> did he think about filing a civil lawsuit against the sons of the confederacy? and essentially because he could make a claim that their mere presence, the flag's presence hurt his business, and therefore they were actively hurting his business, and they should be financially liable. has he thought about pursuing that? did he? >> i mean, maybe you're going to give him the idea when he sees that, but i think ultimately he bought the property with the flag there, so they probably could have come back and said you knew this was here, you purchased the restaurant anyway. but, ultimately, i do think i mean this was really straining for tommy and his family. and i think ultimately they're just -- they're exhausted from this fight and really just want to try and rebuild and move on as best they can. >> well, in the final idea, selling it to some activists to create a civil rights museum on hate. >> and there's been talk of that in the town. there are people interested in doing that. it's about figuring out how to make it happen and who has the money to be able to support something like tat. orangeburg is, you know -- really has an activist history at heart. and i was really excited because in the film we are able to kind of touch on that with this new group of younger residents that want to see change. but we'll see. that would be great. i think everyone would be excited, and that could be a really good option. >> final question, what do you hope to do next after what i think is a tremendous success in telling this story? >> well, i'm actually working on another south carolina film. i filmed with the jamie harrison for senate campaign last year. so i'm working that. >> that'll be interesting. emily herald, the film again "meltdown in dixie," just a wonderful portrayal, i think, of the debate on a local level. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> all right, folks, up next is "golden age karate." you're watching the "meet the press" film festival on msnbc. press" film festival on msnbc. when i'm in a match, time slows down. imagine thinking five, ten moves ahead how slanted his shoulders are, what way his elbow is facing right now, and i put all those together and then just time it perfectly. when i first started martial arts i was 6 years old. the first time i went into the dojo i did like a little straight up high kick, and then the instructor was like, yup, this is definitely for you. >> he was already jumping off of everything he could jump off of. so it was not surprising he jumped into martial arts. >> from 6 to about 9 years old i went into a lot of tournaments and i won all of them. >> we had to sit down with him and tell him, jeffrey, you're not batman. when people are being pushed around in school because we'll lose our home if you break somebody nose, okay?

>> my grandma, she lives by herself, and every weekend that i could i would be over there. >> he would probably live there if he let him. every weekend he's like can i go over to grammys, and we find out later she's making a grilled cheese, she's got the fruit snacks. and we're like, oh, that's why you're always at grammy's. >> my grandma feels like she's very lonely, and maybe others feel that way, too. where could i go?
