Gospel Hill is a 2008 American independent drama film directed and produced by Giancarlo Esposito (in his directorial debut) and written by Jeff Stacy, Jeffrey Pratt Gordon, and Terrell Tannen.
Esposito also stars alongside Adam Baldwin, Angela Bassett, Tom Bower, Danny Glover, Taylor Kitsch, Nia Long, RZA, and Julia Stiles.
Gospel Hill tells the intersecting story of two men in the fictional South Carolina town of Julia.
Their paths begin to cross when a development corporation comes to town with plans to raze Julia's historic African-American community of Gospel Hill, now fallen into disrepair, to build a golf course.
John Malcolm's wife Sarah (Angela Bassett), a schoolteacher, seems alone in her opposition to the project, which is being endorsed by Gospel Hill's prominent African-American physician, Dr. Palmer (Esposito).
