Free State of Jones

Movie • 2016 • Action  

Report
In 1863, Mississippi farmer Newt Knight serves as a medic for the Confederate Army. Opposed to slavery, Knight would rather help the wounded than fight the Union. After his nephew dies in battle, Newt returns home to Jones County to safeguard his family but is soon branded an outlaw deserter. Forced to flee, he finds refuge with a group of runaway slaves hiding out in the swamps. Forging an alliance with the slaves and other farmers, Knight leads a rebellion that would forever change history.

Dog is stabbed on camera over multiple camera angles and is heard crying in pain. Scene is brief but can be triggering. A dog is later shown on a spit but is not shown being killed.

It is implied that an enslaved woman was raped multiple times by the master of the plantation. She later talks about her experiences to the main character. She does not describe it in detail.

No genitals are shown but it is heavily implied by the scene. A lynched man's body is shown and blood is coming from that area.
