Spall Is A "Son of the South"

Rafe Spall will play the lead role in the indie drama "Son of the South" says The Playlist.

The story follows a white author Bob Zellner who grew up in Alabama as the son of a minister and grandson of a Ku Klux Klan member, and who later joined the Civil Rights Movement.

Jacqueline Emerson and Louis Gossett Jr. also star.

The script is adapted from Zellner's book titled The Wrong Side of Murder Creek: A White Southerner in the Freedom Movement.

Barry Alexander Brown will direct the picture with Spike Lee set to produce.
