In 1962, amid the threat of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the growing momentum of the Civil Rights Movement, life in the segregation-era South is filled with tension and uncertainty. Twelve-year-old Lily Kate Burns (Jena Malone), whose mother suffered a stroke when she was a baby, lives with her uncle Ray (J.T. Walsh), a racist movie-theater owner, and aunt Emma (Christine Lahti), his forbearing wife, in a town called Hope. Into this frightened, mixed up town comes a young African-American minister, Jediah (Jeffrey D. Sams), whose befriends young Lily, enraging uncle Ray. When a fire in Ray's movie house results in the death of young black boy in its "coloreds only" balcony, Jediah decides to rally the local African-American community to get some answers. Lily overhears Ray conspiring to lie at trial about the balcony's (nonexistent) safety exists, and shares this information with Jediah. By standing up for the truth, Lily defies her hateful uncle, and discovers she has a lot more in common with her mother than she'd ever dreamed.. Goldie Hawn's directorial debut is a poignant coming-of-age story featuring terrific performances by an all-star cast.
