What A Family Thing Is About
Earl Pilcher rents out equipment in Arkansas and has never had cause to wonder who he is. After his mother dies he finds a letter telling him he is not her son but the son of a black woman who died giving birth to him, and that he has a half brother named Ray in Chicago. He drives north; the meeting is glacial, and what the two men have to work through is not just a fact about a family but decades of what each of them was taught. Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson wrote it for Robert Duvall and James Earl Jones.
