Mudbound

In the Mississippi Delta, two World War II veterans from different racial backgrounds return home to confront the harsh realities of racism and PTSD in a post-war America. Despite their shared trauma, Jamie McAllan struggles with the social norms of his white community, while Ronsel Jackson faces racism in the South he thought was less prevalent abroad. As they navigate their complicated relationships with family, friends, and each other, both men grapple with the consequences of war on their lives and identities. The film is a powerful exploration of the struggles faced by African Americans after World War II, and the long-lasting impact of racism and trauma on individuals and communities.
