THE PROJECT

Today, craft beer accounts for roughly 25% of the total U.S. beer market and generates $29.3 billion dollars every year. At the epicenter of the industry in the American South is the State of North Carolina, whose breweries contribute over $9 billion annually to North Carolina's economy. And while the State boasts over 300 breweries—the most of any state in the American South—only two are owned by Black brewers.

Following the journey of North Carolina’s only Black woman brewer, THIS BELONGS TO US is a feature-length documentary film about the brewer’s external obstacles and internal doubts as she works to open a craft brewery in her hometown and reclaim a legacy that belongs to her.
