After a tragedy, he turns to his neighbor Jud Crandall, triggering a dangerous chain reaction. King told Entertainment Weekly: 'It's really a good film. It's an adult film, mature.'

Minervini marches with a civil rights collective, denouncing police violence. The film is distributed in Italy by Cineteca di Bologna with Valmyn. Il grande spirito stars and is directed by Sergio Rubini, alongside Rocco Papaleo.
