Source was factual book by Osha Gray Davidson. Why isn't this out here on DVD? It was completed in 2017. Sam Rockwell plays a true life KKK leader whose attitude to blacks changed when confronted with activist Taraji Henson and negotiator Babou Ceesay (Eye in the Sky, 71, Guerilla, Lewis). It's slightly guessable (you know he's going to tear up his KKK membership card, and that the blacks will buy his petrol) but enjoyable.
With Anne Heche, Wes Bentley (American Beauty), Nick Searcy, Bruce McGill. An independent Astute Films production. David Lanzenberg shot it, Harry Yoon edited.
Good use of contemporary music throughout - Roy Orbison, Al Green, The Meters, Bowie, Donavan, Bill Withers
