FREE STATE OF JONES will open in U.S. theaters starting May 13, 2016. (This looks good).
INDIE-WIRE website synopsis, "It tells the story
of defiant Southern farmer Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed
rebellion against the Confederacy. Banding together with other small
farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free
State of Jones. Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction,
distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance
long beyond the War."
