Description

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").

    Rosewood is part of my family history. My great grandmother (21yrs old) @the time~ lived in Rosewood and was one of the Adults that moved out of there to Gainesville, Florida. My grandfather and his brothers were part of this move as children and babies. Well told story of my history as grim as it is, with stories missing, but well told. A Moore.

    Based on fact, this story is contemporary in the way that it shows that the mind can rationalize extreme violence, hatred and injustice that support one's worldview.
