Riverbend is one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. I pretty much liked this one. The story is set in the segregated South during the Civil Rights era, it stars Steve James. The film follows three Black Vietnam War soldiers who, after escaping a corrupt court-martial, arrive in a small Georgia town terrorized by a racist sheriff and lead the Black residents in an armed uprising for justice and self-determination.
The casting is surprisingly good. There's Steve James…
