Sword of Trust runs from Monday, September 16 thru Wednesday, September 18. It screens Monday thru Wednesday at 7pm with an additional screening on Wednesday at 4pm in Thalian Hall’s Main Theatre.
A cantankerous pawnshop owner and his man-child employee team up with an out-of-town couple who are trying to hawk a Civil War-era sword inherited from a recently deceased grandfather. The sword comes with a convoluted report claiming the relic is proof that the South won the war. It isn't long before the item draws the attention of enthusiastic conspiracy theorists who are anxious to get their hands on the coveted sword. The adventure that ensues takes them on a wild journey into the depths of conspiracy theory and Southern disillusionment.

“The humor has a persistent goofy streak, but what sticks to the ribs is the poignant stuff.” Glenn Kenny NY TIMES
“The considerable pleasure of Lynn Shelton’s latest “Sword of Trust” is that everyone onscreen is so good at this kind of [improv] work that one wishes more tightly scripted comedy screenplays had such savory dialogue, or inspired character conceptions.” Dennis Harvey Variety
