Burial

The film “The Burial” concludes with a powerful victory for justice and racial equality. After a long and hard-fought legal battle, Willie Gary’s team uncovers evidence of Ray Loewen’s manipulative and exploitative practices, including a shady deal with the Black Baptist church designed to sway public opinion and gain financial advantage. Despite facing setbacks such as the disqualification of Willie’s initial lead and damaging revelations about Jerry O’Keefe’s past, the case ultimately turns on exposing Loewen’s greed and dishonesty rather than focusing solely on race.

The jury, which finally reflects the community’s racial makeup, finds Loewen guilty of all charges and orders him to pay a substantial amount—$100 million in damages plus an additional $400 million in punitive damages—amounting to half a billion dollars in total. This verdict signifies justice not just in monetary terms but also as a moral victory against corporate greed and racial exploitation. The case’s outcome affirms Willie Gary’s belief in fighting for what’s right, harnessing race and injustice as powerful tools for change. At the end, Loewen’s company faces a major downfall, and Jerry O’Keefe’s family business is safeguarded and continues to thrive, proudly supporting Black communities. The film closes on a note of triumph and hope, emphasizing that truth and perseverance can lead to meaningful justice. Willie Gary’s friendship with Jerry remains strong as they move forward in their lives, inspired by the victory they achieved together.
