Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Rosewood”

Why the “Happy” Ending?
What you’ll notice watching the film is that it ends with a great deal of hope and even a sense of pride in the fact that these Black people took their survival into their own hands. The New York Times argued that the story refuses to let the Blacks in Rosewood take on the role of victims. Instead he portrays the people of Rosewood as having “an idyllic past in which black families are intact, loving and prosperous, and a black superhero who changes the course of history when he escapes the noose, takes on the mob with double-barreled ferocity and saves many women and children from death.”
