劇情

編輯

1954年,伯納德·加勒特想進入房地產投資,但遭遇種族歧視,使他無法成為一個成功的房地產投資者。在與富有的俱樂部老闆喬·莫里斯偶然相遇後,他說服喬成為他的共同投資者。他們一起說服白人馬特·施泰納(matt steiner)充當公司的表面負責人,以促進銷售。最終,他們在洛杉磯房地產市場取得了巨大的成功,兩人向馬特教授了房地產投資的基本知識。他們三人在洛杉磯擁有多處房產,並通過向黑人家庭出售和出租,有效地綜合了一些以前被種族隔離的社區。這次成功後,他把目光投向了家鄉德克薩斯州的一家當地銀行,為黑人居民發放貸款。種族主義的銀行做法使黑人無法獲得小企業貸款和住房。喬一開始反對這個想法,但最終還是讓步了,三人搬到了德克薩斯州。

馬特代表伯納德和喬,買下了這家銀行,但當地居民對此極為懷疑。一名銀行高階主管跟蹤貸款記錄,發現他們向黑人提供貸款,跟蹤馬特,發現他的合夥人是黑人,然後威脅他們曝光,這將導致「銀行擠兌」。馬特說服喬和伯納德購買第二家銀行,並讓他負責,盡管他缺乏經驗。那位種族歧視的銀行高管請來一名聯邦調查員,後者檢查了馬特銀行的記錄,發現了許多馬特粗心大意犯下的違規行為。馬特、伯納德和喬因違反聯邦銀行法而被捕。

面臨50年刑期,馬特接受認罪協定,謊稱自己被伯納德和喬騙了。第二天,伯納德熱情地作證說,黑人和白人一樣有機會向上流動。他和喬被判有罪,在監獄服刑;獲釋後,他們和伯納德的妻子尤妮絲一起住在巴哈馬的兩棟房子裏,馬特用伯納德在伯納德作證前一天晚上委託給他的錢為他們購買了這兩所房子。

製作

It was announced in October 2018 that George Nolfi would direct the film, which he co-wrote with Niceole Levy. Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie, Nicholas Hoult, Nia Long and Taylor Black were set to star, with filming beginning in Atlanta.[3][4] The film was partially shot in Douglasville, Georgia and Newnan, Georgia.[5] Additional casting was announced in November.[6]

發行

編輯

In July 2019, Apple TV+ acquired distribution rights to the film.[7] It was set to have its world premiere at AFI Fest on November 21, 2019,[8] followed by a limited theatrical release on December 6, 2019, and digital streaming in January 2020.[9] However, after claims of sexual assault were made against one of the producers of the film, Bernard Garrett's son Bernie Jr., by his half-sisters, the festival was cancelled and the film was pulled from the schedule.[10]

Bernie Jr's half-sisters also accused the filmmakers of writing their mother, Linda, out of the movie. He denies the claims of sexual assault, citing a family conflict surrounding Linda's infidelity and subsequent separation from his father, and the filmmakers maintain that the account of events depicted in the film are the result of independent research and not Bernie Jr's recollection.

The film was eventually released in a limited theatrical release on March 6, 2020, followed by digital streaming on March 20, 2020.[來源請求]
