Thandiwe Newton defends her land in neo-western 'God's Country' presented by CinemaSavannah

How far would you go to defend your land? For Thandiwe Newton's character in "God's Country," it comes with a moral struggle on top of a physical one.

The film, which also stars Jefferson White, Tanaya Beatty and Jeremy Bobb, follows a former police officer (Newton) turned professor in a rural college town that gets drawn into an escalating battle of wills that puts her most deeply held values to the test.
