"**** a great film that's also rip-roarin' entertainment." - bob strauss, los angeles daily news

in 1982 a reporter visiting levy county in florida notices a lack of black residents. so he asked questions... and a long-ago tragedy came to light.
john singleton directs jon voight and ving rhames in this powerful true drama. it is january 1, 1923 in rosewood, but in this largely black town built on family, faith and hard work, hopes for the new year abruptly end. in a few harrowing nights, a white mob razes rosewood into oblivion. as the rampage gains catacysmic force, a heroic world war I veteran (rhames) and a shopkeeper (voight) join forces. dozens of terrified women and children have fled into nearby swamps. somehow they must be led to safety.

includes feature-length commentary by director john singleton on an alternate audio track.
