The film, "Moving Midway," by UNC alum Godfrey Cheshire III '73, was reviewed in an article in the March 26 New York Times. Writer A.O. Scott writes: "Who, apart from Werner Herzog, would think of loading an old North Carolina plantation house onto a truck and moving it away from encroaching strip malls and sprawling developments? Mr. Cheshire's cousin, as it happens. But the relocation of the house is only one piece of this extraordinarily rich documentary, which takes up the agonies and ironies of Southern history with remarkable wit, empathy and learning. Mr. Cheshire, a New York film critic for many years, brings his intelligence and a knowledge of the medium to bear on a primordial subject: What does it mean to think of a place as home?"
