Storyline:  Set during the American Civil War, this film follows a defiant Southern farmer who leads an extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy. Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, he establishes a mixed-race community in Mississippi, challenging the norms of the time. This story is a powerful depiction of defiance, courage, and the fight for equality. It's highly recommended for its gripping portrayal of an often-overlooked chapter of American history.
