Free State of Jones (2016) unfolds against the backdrop of the Civil War, chronicling the tale of Newton Knight, a rebellious Southern farmer who leads an armed insurrection against the Confederacy. Knight, a staunch opponent of both slavery and secession, ignites a revolt among impoverished white farmers, resulting in Jones County, Mississippi, effectively seceding from the Confederacy and forming a "Free State of Jones." His bond with and subsequent marriage to Rachel Knight, a former slave, marks the inception of the region's first racially mixed community. Knight's resistance to the Ku Klux Klan and his ongoing struggle persist through the Reconstruction era, cementing his legacy as a notable, albeit contentious, symbol of defiance long after the war's conclusion.
