The Free State of Jones is a 2016 film directed by Gary Ross starring Matthew McConaughey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mahershala Ali. It is a historical narrative that chronicles the at least partly true story of the attempt of Jones County, Mississippi resident and Confederate soldier Newt Knight to establish an area free of Confederate confiscation and later neglect from Washington to uphold the gains of the Civil War and 13th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Should you write the book of your heart, or should you write a book for money? – by Joanna Penn…
