Synopsis "Appendectomy"

Sunflower County, Mississippi, 1982. In a quiet Delta town, new babies have stopped being born on one side of the tracks.Six-year-old Mae Tatum spends her summer on her grandparents' front porch, filing away every whispered secret she is not supposed to hear. Inside the farmhouse, her twenty-year-old cousin Joann carries a private ache and a painful secret. Down the road, a hardworking housekeeper is fired without warning and visits the local doctor for relief, only to lose something she can never get back.Behind the doors of a small clinic on Route 7, a doctor operates under the shadow of a dark family legacy. Local women know the danger only as a quiet rumor: the "Mississippi appendectomy," an unasked-for surgery that steals their futures under the cover of routine care.When Joann's older sister Marley returns home with a medical degree, she refuses to accept the silence. Digging into old files and hidden records, she uncovers the full truth of what happened in the clinic's back room. Together, the Tatum women must stand against a system built to silence them and demand justice for the generations stolen.Inspired by the true history of medical exploitation and the resilience of Southern Black women, Appendectomy is a moving story of family loyalty, survival, and the power of remembering.
