Wonderfully offbeat film!

Better Late Then Never

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This is a super documentary and I would recommend it to anyone; and especially to anyone with interest in Southeastern North Carolina and its history! I knew Horace Carter and his family personally and my Mom did some creative advertising for his newspapers and other businesses. I knew some of this story but this movie really hit a home run further informing me. I knew Horace was a hero but I didn't fully understand how much of one he was. I don't think 1 person in a million would have done what he did. The actual violence was scary but it was nothing compared to the mental, social, verbal, economic and similar toll it too on everyone in the area. He is a shining star of courage for his family, Tabor City and everyone else.
