"A very brutal thing must be said: The intentions of this melancholic country as concerns black people-and anyone who doubts me can ask any Indian-have always been genocidal. They needed us for labor and sport. Now they can't get rid of us. We cannot be exiled and we cannot be accommodated." (James Baldwin). 
Sanfield is a film about airmen training and working at Columbus Air Force Base 14th Flying Training Wing in Columbus, Mississippi. Through an observational approach, Everson continues his decade-long exploration of African-American lives in the fabric of white American society. Sanfield is part of a series of short films that focus on pilots' lives during training. Kevin Jerome Everson's quest has always been showing how the craft and the presence of African-American labour has shaped and forged the identity of the United States even though that very same country has refused them the basic rights to exist in it. Kevin J. Everson's films becomes therefore an impressive body of work of visual anthropology, recollecting the traces of the African-American working class and its legacy. Seeds for an alternative history and memory.
