Grit: Based on a True Bloody Breathitt Story

In 1915, deep in the hollers of Breathitt County, Kentucky, Elihue Allen stood accused of killing a deputy. Four trials, political corruption, and public outrage followed. But the truth was far more complicated than anyone wanted to admit. Elihue didn't have money, power, or prestige. But he had the truth... and grit.
