Feb 28, 2020 · “Burden” is a tough sell, a film with a logline that makes most people roll their eyes: a KKK member discovers the error of his ways. Who needs another story about a reprehensible racist discovering that racism is something he was taught, and not something that we’re born believing?
With Garrett Hedlund, Andrea Riseborough, Forest Whitaker, Tom Wilkinson. When a museum celebrating the Ku Klux Klan opens in a South Carolina town, the idealistic Reverend Kennedy strives to keep the peace even as he urges the group's Grand Dragon to disavow his racist past.
For Mike Burden, self-preservation was what kept him loyal to the Ku Klux Klan, while love is what drove him to walk away. The film is based on a true story from 1996 in Laurens, South Carolina, and it's the feature film directorial debut of Andrew Heckler (who also wrote the screenplay).
