A small southern town has just been rocked by a tragedy: a young woman has been violently raped. The white town fathers immediately declare that the attacker had to be black, and place the blame on Garth, a young black man. Assuming that the men in white sheets aren't intent on holding a fair and impartial trial, Garth takes to the woods as the Klansmen lynching party hunts him down.

The Klansman Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnFebruary 17, 2025
    "The Klansman" is about a serious subject, made with serious actors, but they are performing a weak script in a style that makes you feel like all the characters are psychopaths.
