CLOSING NIGHT FILM

SURROUNDED

Directed by Anthony Mandler

Five years after the Civil War, former Buffalo Soldier Moses "Mo" Washington travels West to lay claim to a gold mine bequeathed by her late slave owner father. It is a mean, dangerous world for an unaccompanied Black woman and so Mo travels into the deep frontier disguised as a man. After her stagecoach is ambushed, Mo is tasked with holding a dangerous outlaw captive and must survive the day when the bandit's gang tries to free him.
