From the director of DANCER IN THE DARK and DOGVILLE comes MANDERLAY, a moving and hard-hitting story about emancipation from slavery. While traveling across America, Grace (Howard) discovers the isolated plantation of Manderlay -- a place where no one knows that slavery has been abolished. With a good heart and pure intentions, Grace tries to emancipate the slaves and open the residents' eyes to the truth... with shocking results. Featuring an all-star cast including Danny Glover, Willem Dafoe, Chloë Sevigny and Lauren Bacall, MANDERLAY is a unique, unforgettable meditation on the heart and soul of America.
"The crucial difference between MANDERLAY and the almost unbearable DOGVILLE is not that his politics have changed, but that his sense of mercy for the audience has been awakened." -- Roger Ebert, THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
