Given the current Black Lives Matter struggles, this is a film that will answer the question why Black people are marching. Simply excellent human story in the backdrop of racial tensions.

Synopsis
When a museum celebrating the Ku Klux Klan opens in a small South Carolina town, the idealistic Reverend Kennedy resolves to do everything in his power to prevent racial tensions from boiling over. But the members of Kennedy's congregation are shocked to discover that his plan includes sheltering Mike Burden, a Klansman whose relationships with both a single-mother and a high-school friend force him to re-examine his long-held beliefs. After Kennedy helps Mike leave behind his violent past, the Baptist preacher finds himself on a collision course with manipulative KKK leader Tom Griffin. In the face of grave threats to himself and his family, the resolute Kennedy bravely pursues a path toward peace, setting aside his own misgivings in the hopes of healing his wounded community.

Emotional and relevent
Should've had a Wider Audience
This is a good movie! The cast is excellent. Forest Whitaker I hope one day wins a lifetime achievement award from the Academy. His body of work demands it. Tess Harper is getting some roles lately and certainly making the most of them. Garrett Hedlund and Andrea Riseborough are excellent and convey well the emotions of those poor and of good character (Riseborough) and someone who never knew good character and struggles finding it (Hedlund). Really the whole cast from Whitakers wife and son to the Black Motel owner was excellent. This is another movie Americans need to see.
A great surprise, fresh and moving
Powerful story about Faith , the power of prayer and redemption. A beautiful account on reconciliation, compassion and forgiveness. Great heartbreaking performances, a promising directorial debut.
