First Friday Film: Lone Star

Director John Sayles uncovers the haunted past buried beneath a small Texas border town in this neowestern mystery. When a skeleton is discovered in the desert, lawman Sam Deeds, son of a legendary local sheriff, begins an investigation that will have profound implications both for him personally and for all of Rio County, a place still reckoning with its history of racial violence and lays bare the fault lines of life at the border. The brilliant ensemble cast includes Chris Cooper, Elizabeth Pena, and Kris Kristofferson.
