Someone has heard their prayers.
  He left home as a child. He traveled the world and visited places few men have seen. There is no way to contact him. Yet whenever a death occurs in the family, he knows to return home. He just knows. Academy Award winner Sidney Poitier (1964, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Lillies of the Field) is Brother John in this compelling film about the mysteries and prejudices of a small Alabama town on the brink of upheaval.
