Kings of the Evening
Homer Hobbs, home after two years in jail, returns to a bleak urban town caught in the depths of the Great Depression - no jobs, no prospects, no hope. Life is grim. But on Sunday nights, in a dingy hall in a forlorn neighborhood, the men of the neighborhood piece together the finest attire their meager lives can beg, borrow or steal to compete in an underground contest like no other.
Many festival awards, yet to screen in Austin. Directed by Andrew Jones.
