Shadrach

In 1935, a 99-year-old former slave named Shadrach walks the 600 miles from his home in Alabama to the Dabney farm in Virginia, driven by a simple yet profound request: to be buried in the soil of the farm where he was born into slavery. There, he forms a touching bond with the family who owns the land, including Vernon and Trixie Dabney and their seven children, as they navigate strict Virginia law that prohibits burying a black man on their property. This heartwarming drama explores themes of racial segregation, redemption, and the power of human connection in the face of adversity.
