Terrible things happen, but only by understanding the 'why' behind them, can we come to grips with the essence of the matter. This one-man movie evokes an extra-ordinary feeling of comprehension each time I watch it, and for that alone it would be worth your time.
The depth of the event and the change in the characters as they confront what had happened, is excellent drama.
That there is only one actor is at first distracting, but soon enough you can see how it helps to filter out the extraneous parts. You can not vicariously hate those who did the lynching by hating the actors who portray them. Instead, you must pay attention to the story because the story is all you have.
It is, in the end, all you need.
