Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Burial, starring Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones, is a film that navigates the line between fact and fiction, showcasing the power of telling stories inspired by true events. Director Maggie Betts strategically took creative liberties to elevate specific themes, notably racial tension, which took a central role in the movie.
10 The Loewen Group Attorneys In the film, The Loewen Group is represented by Mame Downes, played by Jurnee Smollett, as a powerful, self-sufficient Black female attorney working for Ray Loewen. The movie also depicts an entirely fictional team of Black female attorneys, deviating from the actual all-male legal team.
7 The Loewen Group Deal With The Black National Baptist Convention The film portrays a deal between the Loewen Group and the Black National Baptist Convention, where Loewen acquired NBC's graveyards and enlisted Black church workers as sales agents to sell burial contracts in financially disadvantaged areas. While this narrative is rooted in reality, the film chooses to expose the racist implications of this arrangement.
