In 1934, spurred by public outrage, the government introduced an anti-lynching bill, which ultimately was defeated. This film depicts the result of that vote. I saw The Here Between at it's premiere in Denver. The director told us it was loosely based on An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce.<br/><br/>It's about a lynch mob preparing to hang a young black woman from a train bridge.<br/><br/>Jada Roberts' performance as the woman is one of the film's strongest points. Another is a "dream" sequence that is more vivid than the "real" parts of the film, adding impact to the conclusion.<br/><br/>The film had a sombre effect on me and, as far as I could detect, the rest of the audience.<br/><br/>The Here Between was mostly filmed in McGraw Park, in Bailey, Colorado, taking advantage of authentic period buildings and other structures along the river, for an historically accurate backdrop.
