Show Me a Hero

Show Me a Hero

IN AN AMERICA generations removed from the greatest civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the young mayor of a mid-sized American city is faced with a federal court order that says he must build a small number of low-income housing units in the white neighborhoods of his town. His attempt to do so tears the entire city apart, paralyzes the municipal government and, ultimately, destroys the mayor and his political future. From creator David Simon (HBO's Treme? and The Wire?) and director Paul Haggis (Crash), and based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Lisa Belkin, the six-part HBO Miniseries presentation Show Me A Hero explores notions of home, race and community through the lives of elected officials, bureaucrats, activists and ordinary citizens in Yonkers, NY. Featuring stunning performances from Oscar Issac (Inside Llewyn Davis, Star Wars: Episode VII?The Force Awakens), Catherine Keener (Oscar? nominee for Capote and Being John Malkovich), Alfred Molina (Love Is Strange) and Winona Ryder (Oscar? nominee for Little Women and The Age Of Innocence).
