CrimeDramaThriller

A small southern town has just been rocked by a tragedy: a young woman has been violently raped. The white town fathers immediately declare that the attacker had to be black, and place the blame on Garth, a young black man. Assuming that the men in white sheets aren't intent on holding a fair and impartial trial, Garth takes to the woods as the Klansmen lynching party hunts him down.

VIBE

A harrowing and intense depiction of racial terror in the Deep South. This film feels like a slow-burn nightmare, building dread with every frame as a community's deep-seated prejudice ignites a brutal manhunt.
