Danny Glover John C. Reilly Bryce Howard Dallas Isaach de Bankolé

This is the strange, disturbing story of the Manderlay plantation.

Manderlay lay on a lonely plain somewhere in the deep south of the USA. It was in the year o... moref 1933 that Grace and her father had leftthe township of Dogville behind them. Grace's father and his army of villains had spent the entire winter seeking out new huntinggrounds in vain, and now they were heading south in one last attempt to find a favourable location in which to take up residence.

By chance their cars stop in the state of Alabama in front of a large iron gate bearing a thick chain and a padlock. Beside the gate, adead oak tree towers over a heavy boulder with Manderlay hewn in monumental letters into the granite.

Just as Grace, her father and his men are about to leave after a short break and a quick lunch, a young black woman runs up to the car.She knocks on Grace's window. She hammers at the glass in despair.Ignoring her father's advice to leave others to their own affairs, Grace follows the girl through the gates of Manderlay and there, shefinds a group of people living as if slavery had not been abolished seventy years earlier, with white masters and black slaves...

Grace believes that she has a duty to make it up to the slaves for injustices they have suffered at the hands of her kind: 'we broughtthem here, we abused them and made them what they are', as she argues to her father; and she decides that having liberatedManderlay, she will remain at the plantation until she has seen them through their first harvest.

Her father grudgingly leaves her with four henchmen and a lawyer, warning Grace that he won't be there to pick up the pieces whenher plans for the resurrection of Manderlay fall apart...
