Manderlay
“Liberation. Whether they want it or not.”
In 1933, a young woman and her father discover an Alabama plantation whose inhabitants live as if slavery had never been abolished. Feeling a sense of duty to those behind the heavy gates, she stays to liberate the people and see them through their first harvest. With four of her father's colleagues and a lawyer, she faces the daunting task of resurrecting the place known as Manderlay.

Andres Gomez
Interesting social / psychological experiment following the trail of Dogville but not as round and imaginative as the previous one.
