North Starr (2008)

With his best friend brutally murdered and his hometown of Houston no longer safe, a young African-American man (Jerome Hawkins) hits the road. He ends up in a small town called Trublin, a bigoted backwater where the locals don't take kindly to people like him. Fortunately, he's befriended by a stranger, who takes him in and helps him adapt to this unwelcoming place.
