Submit ReviewA new docuseries called Stepping Into the Shade is in the works, digging into Connecticut's history of shade tobacco farming.
A team at Eastern Connecticut State University, along with host and producer June Archer, tell a kind of oral history of the influence of the seasonal workers on these farms, and their influence on diversity where we live as well as the Civil Rights Movement.
This hour, we preview the docuseries and go behind-the-scenes. Do you have ties to the shade tobacco industry in our state? Contact the production team.
