Burden

When devoted single mother Judy Harbeson (Andrea Riseborough), who works as a grocery cashier and is raising her spunky, impressionable young son (Taylor Gregory) in South Carolina, gives her hotheaded, orphaned, blue-collar boyfriend Michael Burden (Garrett Hedlund), who was raised by racist, mean-spirited KKK leader Tom Griffin (Tom Wilkinson) who he just helped open The Redneck KKK museum in a refurbished theater on main street, an ultimatum to choose between her or his disgusting membership in the Klu Klux Klan in 1996 in this compelling, factually based, moving, well-acted, star-studded (Tessa Harper, Usher Raymond, Tian Richards, Neva Howell, and Austin Hebert), 129-minute, 2018 film, their lives are turned even more upside down when they are evicted from their home and lose their jobs and use of a truck and ironically finds help, forgiveness, and redemption from kindhearted, idealistic, Baptist preacher Reverend David Kennedy (Forest Whitaker) who tests his own faith when he reaches out to the redneck to the shock of his family (Crystal R. Fox and Dexter Darden) and his congregation.
