From the Oscar-nominated writer-director of "Boyz ''n the Hood" comes this moving drama, based on a true story, about heroism andjustice. In 1923, a prosperous black town in Florida was burned to the ground, its people hunted and murdered, all because a whitewoman falsely claimed that a black man sexually assaulted her. Some of the townsfolk escaped the massacre thanks to the courage andcompassion of a few extraordinary people. This powerful tale, based on the recollections of the survivors and their families, isheaded by Oscar-nominee Jon Voight ("Ali," "Pearl Harbor"), with Golden Globe-winners Ving Rhames ("Lilo & Stitch," "Out of Sight"),Don Cheadle ("Ocean''s Eleven," "Swordfish") and Esther Rolle ("Driving Miss Daisy," "My Fellow Americans").
