Plot
In a town ruled by racial prejudice, only a boy had the courage to take a stand. Oscar®-winner LOUIS GOSSETT, JR. (An Officer and a Gentleman) and JOSEPH MAZZELLO (Jurassic Park) head the cast of this compelling and intense drama. USA, the 1930s. Walter Osgood is the only black man left in the town of High Lonesome. He’s lost almost everything dear to him, including his wife and son. But no one in High Lonesome will speak out to defend Walter’s rights when the town unites to drive him away from the community. Except for one person – a young boy named Charlie. Not only does Walter’s extraordinary friendship with Charlie teach the boy the true meaning of love and courage, but it is also a dramatic flashpoint which forces the townspeople to confront their own cruel prejudices.
