Mudbound
Directed by Dee Rees
134 minutes | Rated R
This powerful epic set in the 1940s follows the entangled lives of two families—one white, one black—on a single farm in rural Mississippi. Based on the bestselling novel, the film focuses on the unlikely friendship forged between each of the family’s oldest sons—both WWII veterans—and its catastrophic consequences. Featuring committed performances from Carey Mulligan, Garrett Hedlund, Mary J. Blige, and Jason Mitchell, Mudbound is a monumental and resonant tale about race in America.
Scheduled to attend: Oscar-nominated screenwriter Virgil Williams. Q&A moderated by Tyra Martin, WGN TV Entertainment Producer and AAFCA (African American Film Critics Association) member.
