Former
white supremisist, Derek Vinyard, has just been released from prison
after a racial hate crime. He finds out quickly that his own brother
has decided to take the terrible path that he has now given up. Forced
to enter the place he was once viewed as a god, he has just started a
fight he'll never be able to win on his own.

This is such a great film and the subject matter is very tough to watch
but its so true that the story is even more amazing. Edward Norton is a
great actor and every now and again you'll see him in something great.
One film to remmber for years to come.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
