Synopsis in German
Ein weißer Farmer, der dafür berüchtigt ist, Schwarze zu unterdrücken und grausam zu quälen, wird im rassistischen Louisiana vor der Hütte eines alten Schwarzen tot aufgefunden. Als der Sheriff eintrifft und den mutmaßlichen Mörder verhaften will, geben sich 18 schwarze alte Männer gleichzeitig als Täter aus und gewinnen durch diesen Akt der Solidarität ihr zerstörtes Selbstvertrauen zurück. (SWR Presse)

Remarks and general Information in German: "Mit 'Ein Aufstand alter Männer' ist dem 'Oscar'-Preisträger Volker Schlöndorff eine spannende Umsetzung von Ernest J. Gaines Roman gelungen, der ebenso realistisch wie differenziert Rassendiskriminierung anprangert." (SWR Presse)
