这是一个真实的故事。1923年，麻豆佛罗里达的一个小镇在一夜之间化为灰烬。退役军人曼途经紫檀镇，麻豆不料因一起强暴案牵涉其中。被害人是一名白人女子，为了掩盖自己与他人私通，便谎称被黑人强奸，激起紫檀镇白人对黑人的仇视。仇恨的火种一点即燃，并且愈烧愈烈，许多本来就歧视黑人的白人趁机滥杀无辜，就连妇女和儿童也不放过。曼为了拯救紫檀镇的黑人，不惜牺牲性命帮助他们逃离死地。 本片情节曲折，紧张，充分展示 了美国人受到歧视和被肆意践踏的历史状况。

回复 :River of Grass has all the elements of a conventional road movie: a car, a gun, criminal plans, and young lovers on the run from an angry father who also happens to be a suspended police officer. But writer and director Kelly Reichardt has instead taken these familiar elements and fashioned an anti-road movie, a deadpan film that is more existentialist comedy than crime drama. The young lovers in question are Cozy, the cop's daughter, and Lee Ray, a shady character from the wrong end of town. Lee Ray comes into possession of a pistol, and soon he and Cozy find themselves unintentionally involved in a shooting. Fearing capture by the law, the two make plans to leave town, committing a series of robberies on the way. However, they don't manage to get very far; indeed, the film's central premise is how the romantic myth of lovers on the lam proves disappointing in the face of a far more pedestrian reality. This well-received, low-budget indie was shot on location in South Florida, placing its story against an appropriately depressed landscape of sun-bleached strip malls, barren highways and overgrown, swampy fields; the title is another name for the Florida Everglades.

When all hope seems to be lost, a policeman from their hometown speaks on their behalf at the court hearing, setting them free.
