Academy Award®–Contending Film Series—The Burial and Post-Screening Conversation

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special screening of The Burial followed by a conversation with director and writer Maggie Betts.

Inspired by true events, when a handshake deal goes sour, funeral homeowner Jeremiah O’Keefe (Academy Award® winner Tommy Lee Jones) enlists charismatic, smooth-talking attorney Willie E. Gary (Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx) to save his family business. Tempers flare and laughter ensues as the unlikely pair bond while exposing corporate corruption and racial injustice in this inspirational, triumphant story.
