A True Story. Revisited.
In a divided America, a young actor’s passion project about a war-scarred reformer thrusts him into the center of a cultural firestorm, forcing him to confront his own fractured identity and challenging his generation to seek healing and unity through truth and grace.
Synopsis.
A forgotten hero. A fractured time. A quest for unity.
​
Against the backdrop of 2020’s social upheaval, The Major centers on a college actor staging a play about a little-known Civil War figure, Major James Lide Coker, a Confederate veteran who became a forward-thinking reformer, an advocate for racial and educational progress, and the most successful entrepreneur of his day.
What begins as a simple performance becomes a personal and generational reckoning, challenging modern audiences to reexamine the past with honesty and to rediscover its potential to heal.
​
Told through three interwoven storylines—present day, historical flashbacks, and the onstage performance—this powerful story speaks to a world hungry for meaning, dialogue, and hope.
