TAKE TWO: “Free State of Jones”

Susan and Russ are on the same page about this Civil War drama. Matthew McConaughey plays Newton Knight, a Confederate deserter who forms a rag-tag army of deserters and escaped slaves that rebel against the Rebels. Based on a true story, this drama was directed by Gary Ross (“The Hunger Games”) and also stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Keri Russell as Knight’s wives.
