Free State of Jones
video Official Trailer STXfilms
9 janv. 2016
Written and directed by four-time Oscar nominee
Gary Ross
(THE HUNGER GAMES, SEABISCUIT, PLEASANTVILLE),
and starring Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey.
FREE STATE OF JONES
is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War,
and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer,
Newt Knight,
and his extraordinary armed rebellion
against the
Confederacy.
Banding together with other small farmers and
local slaves,
Knight launched an uprising that led Jones
County,
Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy,
creating a Free State of Jones.
Knight continued his struggle into
Reconstruction,
distinguishing him as a compelling,
if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond
the War.

The inverted flag is a symbol
that has become associated with Trump’s
false claims that Joe Biden stole the election.
Used by some Trump supporters
during the January 6 Capitol riot,
the upside-down flag was seen
outside Alito’s home on 17 January 2021
– 10 days after the riot in DC
nd three days before Biden’s inauguration,
according to
a report in the New York Times
on Friday.
