Good Fences
An ambitious Black attorney moves his family to an affluent white Connecticut suburb in the early 1970s, setting off a slow unraveling as the pressures of assimilation, racial isolation, and a marriage in crisis converge. A sharp and quietly devastating portrait of the price of the American Dream. Premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.
