Burden grapples clumsily with its undeniably worthy themes, but its honorable intentions -- and strong performances -- make it easy to forgive those flaws.

Movie Info
When a museum celebrating the Ku Klux Klan opens in a small South Carolina town, the idealistic Reverend Kennedy (Academy Award (R)-winner Forest Whitaker) resolves to do everything in his power to prevent long-simmering racial tensions from boiling over. But the members of Kennedy's congregation are shocked to discover that his plan includes sheltering Mike Burden (Garrett Hedlund), a Klansman whose relationships with both a single-mother (Andrea Riseborough) and a high-school friend (Usher Raymond) force him to re-examine his long-held beliefs. After Kennedy helps Mike leave behind his violent past, the Baptist preacher finds himself on a collision course with manipulative KKK leader Tom Griffin (Tom Wilkinson). In the face of grave threats to himself and his family, the resolute Kennedy bravely pursues a path toward peace, setting aside his own misgivings in the hopes of healing his wounded community. From Oscar (R)-nominated filmmaker Robbie Brenner (Dallas Buyers Club) and writer/director Andrew Heckler comes this dramatic true story of compassion and grace in the American South.

Burden foy vance.
I saw Burden at Sundance, and was captured with how poignant this film is. The tale is an incredible story- and has really effected me on many levels. Even though the story is 20 years old- the lesson is very timeless.

Movies | ‘Burden’ Review: A White Supremacist’s Change of Heart Garrett Hedlund stars as a beleaguered Klan member in this heavy-handed yet worthwhile true-life redemption drama. Credit... Mark Hill/101 Studios Burden Directed by Andrew Heckler Drama R 1h 57m Never underestimate the power of love — and the mind-blowing kindness of a by-the-book preacher — to lead a man to salvation. At least, that’s the message of “Burden, ” the third recent movie ( after last year’s “Best of Enemies” and “Skin” a few months later) to feature a Klan member being coaxed into the light. This time, the movie’s flawed hero is the real-life Mike Burden (Garrett Hedlund), an uneducated repo man in small-town South Carolina. The year is 1996, and Mike and his brothers-in-hate have repurposed a crumbling movie theater as the Redneck Shop and K. K. Museum, complete with Confederate flag. Outside, the Reverend David Kennedy (an affecting Forest Whitaker) and his flock are staging peaceful protests against the opening of this abomination. They don’t know that Mike will soon mount a roof and train his sniper rifle on the Reverend’s head. Based on the startling true story of Mike’s renunciation of the Klan ( and the resulting tussle for ownership of the museum), Andrew Heckler’s film debut is often preachy and overripe with white-power symbolism. Yet its mood of airless bigotry is quite effective, portraying the Klan’s influence with officials and the police as an ingrained stain on the fabric of the town. When Mike falls for Judy (Andrea Riseborough, all hair and gumption), a scrawny single mother who’s not at all down with racism, he’s forced to choose between his woman and the only family he has ever known. Though the themes of “Burden” feel uncomfortably current, their execution is leaden and dismayingly artless. Wrapped in Jeremy Rouse’s dusty-soft cinematography, Mike’s reluctant journey to redemption is unpersuasive, his personality only semi-formed and his behavior a tangle of contradictions. Scenes with his surrogate father and Klan leader (Tom Wilkinson, casually monstrous) have a naturalness that’s lacking in his interactions with the preacher, whose near-saintly generosity seems almost sacrificial. And then there’s Hedlund’s distractingly odd performance, one that pushes his character from inarticulate to the precipice of slow-witted. Feet shuffling and head rocking back and forth in a self-soothing arc, Burden approaches virtually every situation with such obvious discomfort he’s like a once-whipped, twice-shy dog. This is a man who only seems fully alive when fists connect with flesh, a brute whose baptism scene feels like a triumph, but whose absolution feels a long way away. Burden Rated R for flying fists and filthy tongues. Running time: 1 hour 57 minutes.
