Burden

Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker (The Butler, Black Panther) and Garrett Hedlund (Mudbound) star in a powerful and timely true story of faith and love overcoming hate. Set in a small South Carolina town scarred by deep-rooted racism in the mid-nineties, an unlikely friendship forms when an African American Reverend (Whitaker) shelters Mike Burden (Hedlund) a KKK member, along with his girlfriend Judy, a single mother played by Andrea Riseborough. Through his faith and love, Reverend Kennedy helps Mike leave his violent past in the Klan ultimately helping to heal the community. From Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Robbie Brenner (Dallas Buyers Club) and writer-director Andrew Heckler, BURDEN features incredible performances by Whitaker, Hedlund, Riseborough, Tom Wilkinson, Tess Harper, Crystal Fox and Usher Raymond.
