The film “Mudbound” follows the story of two men – one white, one black – returning home from WWII to life in the Mississippi Delta. As their families struggle to share the land, they discover that what they hold in common is truer than what tears them apart. Based on the much appraised book Mudbound by Hillary Jordan, it was adapted into a critically acclaimed film in 2017. The movie has earned numerous accolades and honors, including four Academy Award nominations. The Washington Post declared it “the best picture of the year.”
