NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING CAREY MULLIGAN, GARRETT HEDLUND
& MARY J. BLIGE When Henry McAllan moves his city-bred wife,
Laura, to a cotton farm in the Mississippi Delta in 1946, she finds
herself in a place both foreign and frightening. Henry's love of
rural life is not shared by Laura, who struggles to raise their two
young children in an isolated shotgun shack under the eye of her
hateful, racist father-in-law. When it rains, the waters rise up
and swallow the bridge to town, stranding the family in a sea of
mud. As the Second World War shudders to an end, two young men
return from Europe to help work the farm. Jamie McAllan is
everything his older brother Henry is not and is sensitive to
Laura's plight, but also haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel
Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the
farm, comes home from war with the shine of a hero, only to face
far more dangerous battles against the ingrained bigotry of his own
countrymen. These two unlikely friends become players in a tragedy
on the grandest scale.
