Ving Rhames (as Mann) and Elise Neal (as Beulah) in Rosewood (1997).
Rosewood, Florida, is a small, peaceful town with an almost entirely African-American population of middle-class homeowners, until New Year’s Day 1923, when a lynch mob from a neighboring white community storms the town. Among the carnage, music teacher Sylvester (Don Cheadle) and mysterious stranger Mann (Ving Rhames) stand tall against the invaders.
The film is based on a true story.
Director: John Singleton | Screenplay: Gregory Poirier

But when her drink is spiked with a date-rape drug, she must question and rebuild every element of her life.
