1944 - A 14-year old black boy, named Linus Bragg, is executed on the electric chair in Carolina, USA. He's accused of murder and rape on two 10-year old white girls. Thirty odd years later his younger brother returns to unravel the truth. It turns out to be a combination of racism, prejudice and money. Linus had been falsely accused, he was innocent. The movie shows some horrifying scenes. It really gets to you. The movie is based on a book by David Stout, and the book is reality-based. If you have the opportunity to see this movie, then go see it.
