~Who says all the fantasies with sword-wielding heroes and heroines have to be in Middle Earth, Westeros, or even our dreams of Africa past—“copper sun or scarlet sea?”~
Magical fantasy with cursed swords and monsters but the fantasy land is Macon, Georgia, and the monsters are hate-filled racists who need to be slaughtered.
Loses a few points as the conclusion gets schmaltzy but otherwise outstanding. Clark does great work again and I need the film of this.
