Redemption Trail is a 2013 American drama film written and directed by Britta Sjogren and starring Lily Rabe, LisaGay Hamilton, Jake Weber and Hamish Linklater.
Plot
Two strong, yet deeply troubled women - struggling with political and personal trauma - try to escape pasts that haunts them. Tess, the daughter of a murdered Black Panther, lives off the grid on a Sonoma vineyard, detached from any sort of human connection. Her life of solitude is shattered when she gives reluctant shelter to a desperate young woman, Anna. An unlikely companionship forms, where other close relationships have failed. But the very difference between the two women opens them up to a new vision of themselves, as not only survivors, but as heroes. Bravely reclaiming independence, and their personal life, they charge forward, towards an unknown, transformative future.
