​Patrick O’Connor, Look Away, Look Away
Director/Producer
​
O’Connor is an award-winning writer/director whose most recent work, Look Away, Look Away, introduces us to a diverse array of activists, and captures the fierce five-year battle that led to the removal of the Mississippi state flag, revealing how race, heritage and long-simmering grievances over the Civil War shape our sense of who we are as Americans. A previous documentary film of O’Connor, The Invisible Patients, had its national PBS broadcast premiere on America Reframed in 2018. O’Connor resides in Pass Christian, Mississippi.
