Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Director/co-writer George Nolfi’s drama film is based on the true story of African-American entrepreneurs Bernard Garrett and Joseph Morris. Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie, Nicholas Hoult, and Nia Long, the story revolves around Garrett and Morris’ daring 1960s scheme to empower the African-American community through business loans and the opportunity to rent homes in white neighborhoods. They recruit a working-class white man to front their ambitious real estate and banking operations.
