 In the rural post-Depression town of Alma, Arizona, a preacher is given only a few minutes to minister last rites to a condemned black farm worker and save his soul before he is "legally lynched" by the redneck townsfolk. But instead of discussing guilt, innocence or the hereafter, the prisoner turns the conversation on its head. During an intense, emotional confrontation the preacher is forced to examine his own basic beliefs as well as the very meaning of his life. Dick Fisher (producer/DP/editor of THE BROTHERS McMULLEN) directs this multiple Award-winning tale of race prejudice and personal redemption.
