Son of the South (2020)
Directed by Barry Alexander Brown this film inspired by real events stars Lucas Till, Lucy Hale and Lex Scott Davis. A white college student from Alabama becomes involved in the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
Certainly this is a story worth telling however I get the feeling that the script leans a little too much on the fictional side. A decent watch but in the end does not live up to the weight of the subject matter. A little more of a gentle hand would have gone a long way with this film.
2/5
