A Gathering of Old Men (1987)
Een reguliere dag in een Louisiana Sugarcane plantage verandert van koers wanneer een lokale blanke boer wordt neergeschoten in zelfverdediging. Een groep oude, zwarte mannen neemt een moedige stap door massaal naar voren te komen om de verantwoordelijkheid te nemen voor het doden van een blanke racist, die een van hun leden heeft neergeschoten. Terwijl de sheriff de verdachten confronteert, staat de jonge plantage eigenaar alleen in haar gedurfde verdediging van deze groep mannen en veroorzaakt raciale spanningen.
