Summary

Legendary Spanish director Luis Buñuel takes on issues of racism and injustice in this provocative drama. On a remote island off the Carolina coast, a game warden and a young girl -- the island's only inhabitants -- encounter Traver, a black musician who's escaped a lynch mob. Falsely accused of rape, Traver is discovered by a search party sent to the island, and now, the game warden must weigh a decision that will determine the fugitive's fate.
