Tom and Byron have been best friends since childhood. Through forty years of friendship, they have experienced just about everything together. But that was before Derek Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd as Floyd resisted arrest and Chauvin took his life. Tom is white, Byron is black. But that shouldn't matter when they begin discussing the case, should it? After all, facts are facts. Or are they? What starts out as a simple conversation between two buddies discussing the case quickly escalates when their families and businesses are threatened. Will both men stick to their guns when their livelihoods and loved ones are at stake? In the year 2020, in a country that seems to hate itself, what chance could these two men stand at remaining friends? What chance did any of us have?

Kathy S Excellent movie! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and thought it really depicted the emotional strain that was put on family's and friends during the covid pandemic and the "mostly peaceful, summer of love" riots that divided our Country. This is a must see movie for everyone that sheds light and understanding of those difficult times and brings encouragement and hope to people so that those troubled times don't divide U.S. again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Chris M Great movie! It is a well-written depiction of a very tumultuous and volatile time in our history. Love the humor! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Christine B Great movie! Love the humor! It is a well-written depiction of a very tumultuous and volatile time in our history. I feel the characters accurately portray the sentiment from both sides of the "movie" aisle in a manner that allows the viewer to experience the raw emotion internalized by many regardless of personal beliefs. This movie is very thought provoking and allows the viewer to grow and appreciate the complexities of social interaction through the very real consequences created by the most innocent of intentions. It is a definite Must-See! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Bronsonn T Tonight’s showing was so amazing! We originally had a 40 seat room but sold out within a week. We then moved to a 60 seat, 75 seat and finally a 105 seat room. The excitement in the room was palpable from beginning to end. This is a must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Rhonda S This is one of the most intelligent…politically and socially relevant movies out right now. It should be shown in high schools…universities….PBS…and congress so that we can learn how to communicate and disagree without deteriorating into verbal and physical violence. AMAZING and unbiased for everyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Nassab A I loved the movie! This is a story that needed to be told. We need more movies like this without the million dollar costs and extravagance because the essence and the true meaning in stories comes down to the people on the screen that we can see ourselves in. This is what they did in this movie. The surprise punch! The powerful moment! came with Bronson Taylor! His character was in a supportive role but man oh man did he bring it!
