Rosewood

From the Oscar-nominated writer-director of Boyz 'N the Hood comes this moving drama, based on a true story, about heroism and justice. In 1923, a prosperous black town in Florida was burned to the ground, its people hunted and murdered, all because a white woman falsely claimed that a black man sexually assaulted her. Some of the townsfolk escaped the massacre thanks to the courage and compassion of a few extraordinary people. This powerful tale, based on the recollections of the survivors and their families, is headed 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).
