series Purpose and Passion: The Cinema of John Singleton
Directed by John Singleton | 1997
With Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, Jon Voight
Singleton takes one of the ugliest (and most long-overlooked) events in US history—the deadly 1923 attack on the black town of Rosewood, Florida, by racist whites—and turns it into a powerful reflection on both African-American perseverance and the horror of American racial violence. Ving Rhames is the mysterious outsider who becomes swept up in the escalating brutality—and ultimately leads the black residents as they fight back.
