Murder in Coweta County backdrop

Murder in Coweta County 1983 Directed by Gary Nelson

"The Kingdom" a backwoods dynasty of moonshine and murder. This is the story of the man who ran it, and the man who crushed it.

Wallace a wealthy landowner in Meriwether County, Georgia, has virtually unlimited power in the county, including having the sheriff under his control. When he murders a share cropper he thinks that he is powerful enough to get away with it. Because the act of murder took place in Coweta County, it is under the jurisdiction of the Coweta County sheriff who hunts the murderer without trepidation.
