Rosewood

1997 142 min R Drama · History · Action · Thriller

In 1923, a black town in Florida was burned to the ground, its people murdered because of a lie. Some escaped and survived because of the courage and compassion of a few extraordinary people. This film is for them.

Florida, 1923. A match flares in darkness, then a church bell tolls twice. A white woman’s scream and a sheriff’s warrant set arson and rifles in motion. By dawn the smoldering streets show only scorched shutters, bloodied shoes, and the hush of wind through splintered porches. Singleton reconfigures a forgotten slaughter with the slow, sickening precision of a blues ballad.

Directed by John Singleton · Written by Gregory Poirier

Starring Ving Rhames, Jon Voight, Don Cheadle, Bruce McGill, Loren Dean, Elise Neal
