Good Fences
Directed by Ernest R. Dickerson
Produced by 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks
A 1970s-set drama about an ambitious Black attorney navigating racial prejudice as he pursues upward mobility and integration into an exclusive white community.
Set in the 1970s, Tom Spader is an attorney who is determined to end what he has dubbed "the colored man's losing streak." When his winning of a high-profile case thrusts him into the limelight, he decides to move his wife and their two kids out of their mixed lower-middle-class town and into the posh enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut.
