Brenda Martin (Julianne Moore) walks the streets of New Jersey into a Dempsey hospital and claims an African-American man has stolen her car along
with her sick 4-year-old son. Detective Lorenzo Council (Samuel L. Jackson) visits and patrols the Armstrong House located in the gritty parts of the projects. He looks after the neighborhood as if it were his own until he gets a call about an abduction from the same location. Lorenzo goes to the hospital and meets Brenda, who is a wellknown teacher in the Armstrong House. Lorenzo has a feeling that Brenda is not telling him the whole truth and he searches to find out what really happened to her son. Brenda’s brother Danny Martin (Ron Eldard) is a detec-
tive for the Gannon County police department. Freedomland takes place in two northern New Jersey towns: Dempsey, a predominantly African-American working-class poor community and Gannon, a neighboring, largely white bluecollar suburb. Danny brings in all of Gannon County police department to find out what happened to his nephew. The police department causes tempers to flare when they place barricades trapping the residents in. Racial tension rises as residents of the Armstrong House incite a riot opposing the treatment of the Gannon police department. Freedomland is an adaptation of Richard Price’s novel, which is based on a true story. The novel is about a carjacking, a missing child and a neighborhood of distrust and racism. Jackson’s performance was good. He played the cool detective who wanted to protect his community and also the victim, Martin. It’s a love it or hate it type of movie. People who are fans of suspenseful movies will definitely be satisfied. Maybe it won’t be the movie of the year but it is a look into what would happen if a white child went missing in a black community.
