Mænd vi høstede

Over en periode på fem år mister Jesmyn Ward fem unge mænd, der står hende nær, inklusive sin egen bror. De dør af overdosis, selvmord, skuddrab og i to forskellige bilulykker. Dødsfaldene er meningsløse, men alligevel sætter Ward sig for at undersøge, hvorfor de skulle ske.

I sin søgen efter svar, føres hun tilbage til sin fattige hjemby DeLisle i sydstaten Mississippi. Her genbesøger hun de fem mænds skæbner, og deres historier flettes sammen med hendes egen, hendes families og hjembyens. Fra dette ståsted bliver det tydeligt, hvordan de fem liv, på trods af de forskellige omstændigheder for deres afslutning, var dybt forbundne.

Mænd vi høstede er en bevægende fortælling om racisme, ulighed og tab. Den er et kærligt portræt af det stærke sammenhold, der kan opstå i et lille lokalsamfund præget af tragedier.
