The Groveland Four

This documentary delves into the harrowing story of four young black men wrongly accused of rape in Lake County, Florida. Their case was marked by violence, including a race riot and torture, resulting in multiple murders and two trials that ultimately reached the Supreme Court. Despite its significant national coverage at the time, the story of The Groveland Four has faded from public memory, even though it played a crucial role in the civil rights movement.

The film runs for 90 minutes and features prominent actor Courtney B. Vance. Through interviews and archival footage, The Groveland Four sheds light on the injustices faced by these men and the broader implications for civil rights in America. It serves as an important reminder of the struggles against systemic racism and the need for historical awareness.
