Zak is a Down syndrome person who runs away from his nursing home in North Carolina to chase his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. Along the way, he unexpectedly befriends Tyler, also on the run, but for all the wrong reasons. Together, they wind through deltas, elude Zak’s overprotective carer, drink moonshine, catch fish, and search for a wrestling training camp run by Zak’s idol, the Salt Water Redneck.

Winner of Best Picture at the 2019 Academy Awards, this road comedy-drama stars Viggo Mortensen as an Italian-American bouncer from the Bronx hired to drive a world-class concert pianist (Mahershala Ali, who won an Oscar here and for 2016’s Moonlight) on a tour across the 1960s American South.

Confronted with racism and danger along the way, they must set aside their differences while relying on “The Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans.
