Free State of Jones – Making Of – B-Roll VideoPlot synopsis:
“The film is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War, and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight (Matthew McConaughey), and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy. Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones. His marriage to a former slave, Rachel, and his subsequent establishment of a mixed race community was unique in the post-war South. Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.”

Matthew McConaughey is so talented that even unedited B-roll footage looks Oscar worthy. Anyway, Great film ahead!

Fortunately the chap on this picture, Moses Washington (played by Mahershala Ali), did manage to escape and I hope his new met friends will help him get rid of it.
