A new trailer has landed for “Mudbound,” Dee Rees’ highly anticipated follow-up to her Emmy-winning TV movie “Bessie.” The multi-perspective Southern epic follows two men as they return home from WWII: Ronsel (Jason Mitchell) and Jamie (Garrett Hedlund). The former is black and the latter is white, and while they bond over their shared experiences abroad, they are welcomed back to very different circumstances in the United States.

“I went over to fight for my country to come back and find they hadn’t changed a bit,” says Ronsel in the spot. Over there, he was “liberated,” and people “lined up in the street waiting” for him and his fellow soldiers. But back in Mississippi, he’s ordered to use the back door of a shop. And his family works as sharecroppers on Jamie’s family’s farm.

The two form an uneasy friendship, but it’s clear that Ronsel and Jamie both have a lot of baggage, and their burgeoning relationship attracts the attention of many, including Jamie’s intensely racist father.

“Mudbound” scored the biggest deal out of Sundance this January. The ensemble cast includes Carey Mulligan, Mary J. Blige, and Jason Clarke.

Rees won the John Cassavetes Award at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards for “Pariah,” her first narrative feature.

“Mudbound” launches on Netflix and in select theaters November 17.
