Plot

In the heart of a small South Carolina town, a museum dedicated to the infamous Ku Klux Klan emerges, threatening to ignite the simmering racial tensions. Amidst this turmoil, Reverend Kennedy, an unwavering beacon of idealism, steps forward, determined to douse this flame of discord. His surprising solution: offer sanctuary to Mike Burden, a rising star within the Klan's ranks. Burden, a man caught in a web of prejudice, finds his staunch beliefs challenged by the complexities of love and friendship. His relationship with a single mother and an old high-school comrade compels him to question the hatred he has long harbored. Encouraged by this woman's vision of a shared future, Burden contemplates a life beyond the Klan. As Burden grapples with his past, Reverend Kennedy faces his own trials. His decision to shelter Burden sends shockwaves through his congregation. The reverend's path to peace collides with the venomous machinations of the Klan's leader, Tom Griffin, leading to grave repercussions for him and his family. Yet, in the face of these threats, Kennedy stands resolute, setting aside his personal fears and doubts for the sake of his fractured community. In this intricate dance of love, faith, and redemption, "Burden" (2020) explores how two men, from opposing worlds, join forces to challenge the venomous grip of the Klan. Their shared struggle weaves a poignant narrative of resilience and hope, a testament to the power of compassion in the face of bigotry. Their journey is a testament to the enduring power of humanity, and the lengths we will go to for the promise of a more harmonious world.
