GO DOWN, MOSES tells the story of two old friends – and civil rights warriors – whose comfortable lives in academia are thrown into chaos by the arrival of a female student who embodies everything they fought for when they were young. GO DOWN, MOSES asks the question: what does it mean to be an ally?
