A dramatic and important feature film about the massacre of a prosperous black community in Rosewood, Florida in 1923 by a rampaging group of white vigilantes. Directed by John Singleton, whose Boyz N the Hood led him to be the youngest, and only black, director to be nominated for an Oscar, the film is a large-scale reenactment of the heinous, long-hidden incident. "An unblinking work that offers a courageous example of what movies can do with the black past." (Village Voice)
1997, color, 2 hours 20 minutes, USA
