Storia
In the small southern town of Jessup, Georgia, a young white woman named Linda is raped by a black man. The Ku Klux Klan retaliates violently against the black community, leading to the death of an innocent black man named Virgil. When Garth, another black man who witnessed the incident, sees the injustice, he vows revenge against the KKK members responsible for Virgil's death. One by one, Garth hunts down and kills the Klansmen involved in Virgil's lynching.
Riassunto
Klansman is a gripping 1974 American drama-thriller directed by Terence Young. Set in post-Civil Rights Act south Georgia, the film explores themes of racial tension, injustice, and vigilantism. The story revolves around Garth (played by O.J. Simpson), who takes matters into his own hands after witnessing the brutal consequences of racism on an innocent friend. The film is notable for its candid portrayal of racial issues during that period.
