Controversial experimental drama written and directed by Lars von Trier, exploring slavery and prejudice in the Deep South of the 1930s. Arriving on the cotton plantation Manderlay, fugitive Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), her father (Willem Dafoe) and their mob of gangsters find that slavery has been allowed to continue. Freeing the slaves, Grace tries to teach them the rudiments of democracy and self-reliance, but soon comes to realise that she is merely imposing her own values on a culture of which she has little or no understanding. The cast also includes Danny Glover, Lauren Bacall, Jeremy Davies and Chloë Sevigny.
